James Wood offers workplaces something different. He has no tertiary qualifications in safety, yet he delivers powerful safety messages.
A diesel mechanic by trade, James went to work one day and came home 9 months later. He had a workplace incident resulting in a permanent spinal cord injury. James admits that the incident was caused by the CHOICES he made.
During his time in hospital and rehabilitation he met others who had suffered permanent injuries and would spend time listening to their stories and telling people what happened to him.
Some time after his accident he was asked to share his story at a workplace “Safety Day” and he has been doing it ever since. James believes that if he had seen and heard first hand the results of getting hurt at work he would have put more effort into staying safe.
Join James as he shares his story and talks about the power of showing employees the real impact of getting hurt at work!
