Don't you think Punk Rock Safety isn't taking safety seriously enough? Making jokes about safety is surely a sign that some idiot doesn't care enough, right?

Uhhh, no. And that applies to safety pros who are having a good time, laughing, and joking as they do their jobs, too.

Why aren't people saying, "Whoa, this is fucking awesome!" when the safety folks come around? If the seriousness that a lot of people think is associated with safety was working, we wouldn't be fighting to get folks' attention all the time.  

If safety is supposed to be about valuing and connecting with people, then we have to bring in all the stuff that makes life interesting.

That's a big part of punk, too. Connecting with people through a common story and supporting one another even when shit gets gnarly.

Fun and serious aren't opposites, dude, and if it's boring even to the people doing it, what the hell chance do we have of being helpful?

The boys talk about safety as the "fun police" and more. It's a super serious conversation. Pinky promise.
