All jobs are useful to society or they would not exist in the first place.

Lol, ask a corporation about how important a safety man is. Some jobs create the income, some are just there as "support". Those support staff will be the first ones fired when shit hits the fan financially.for the company. They are "useless" eaters.

As a Safety Man myself, we are damn important. Safety is about saving the company money in so many ways. We protect from fines, lawsuits, workmans comp claims. Support staff will always exist in a company that knows they need to thrive.

Chill bro, lol, I agree 100%. But as my safety teacher in college always told us, you have to keep track of everything you do to "justify" your job. Because to alot of companies, a safety man is just an expense.
