Safety Justice League
We're no superheroes... but we're looking for some. SJL is a place for safety, beards, laughs, beer, coffee, friends, and learning. Our mission is to provide a voice for great ideas in worker safety and a platform that transcends the tired safety slogans plastered on worksites by mindless safety drones. And we're not stopping there. The world's not ready for this, but we're doing it anyway.
Are you ready to get rid of the "0lds" and make work better? It's time to join us...

Spoiler alert... we never figured it out. Blame JM for his St. Patty's day hangover if you want.
What's your why?
You're not gonna believe your ears. Someone told the crew they were funny and it went to their heads. Now they're talking crazyness, comedy clubs, and beers (of course) in Chicago.

In this incredible, INTERNATIONAL episode Safety AF talks to Ugochi The Safety Chic.
We just have to say... The Safety Chic is fantastic. You'll be hanging on every word as she explains her passion for educating children (and larger children A.K.A. adults) about how to get better at safety.
She got up at 3:15 AM to talk with Abby and had more pep and energy than all four of us combined after a cup or two of Fire Department Coffee.

This episode is proof that the boys should not be allowed to record anything without supervision. Tune in to find out what happens when three Marines and one Airman talk safety.

BUT... she wasn't available when we recorded this rouge episode. So what you'll get here is some really candid, really graphic, descriptions of what safety needs to do to get better and make a real impact on worker safety.
This one's a no-holds-barred assault on conventional safety thinking with plenty of military language included to drive the points home.
Oh. And we also learned that JM is a terrible artist.
Listen if you dare. It's not for the faint of heart.
