    • 2:30pm Hidden Scars of Safety2:30pm- 3:30pm
      Training, reminders and enforcement penalties are important, but sometimes, real life examples of workplace accidents do more to convince workers to comply with what you’ve been trained to do. Because after all, should our employment dictate our quality of life for the remainder of our lives? When an accident occurs, very serious consequences may be the result. In this session, we will discuss the personal stories of workers who have experienced significant injuries on the job. Through each story, attendees will experience the importance of following safe work practices in order to prevent similar events from happening. Each story will give a different perspective and will show just how important it is to be aware of safety procedures and your surroundings, as nobody expects to be injured. This session will address the “it won’t happen to me” attitude.
