On the last regular episdode for Season 3 we are blessed with James Wood and Michael Weston joining the conversation. Both popular and professional safety real life experience speakers both have a message you will want to hear (and your people to hear). Not one to be missed and a good way to end the season and the year. Michael will live the rest of his life with an acquired brain injury (ABI) as a result of pushing his body to the point that it couldn’t go on.A career of 20 years in heavy industry saw Michael rewarded with a leadership role, he not only had to ensure production, but he was responsible for other people. A normal 10 to 12 hour workday often dragged out to 14 and 16 hours, days off were spent answering phone calls from the site or ‘Catching up’ on work that just “Had” to be done.Work/Life balance became Work/Work balance with a bit of life thrown in when it didn’t interfere with the job.Something had to give, and it was Michael’s body. He walked out his front door not feeling quite right but knowing he had to get to work and he collapsed on his driveway and was found by his neighbor unconscious and not breathing. His head had fallen onto his chest and blocked the supply of oxygen to his brain.Michael is now affected by; short term memory loss, impaired cognitive function, limited attention span, hypersensitivity to noise and bright light among other health and well-being impacts. Michael was diagnosed with an ABI, Anxiety, Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).James Wood offers workplaces something different. He shares the story of his workplace accident! James made some wrong Choices and ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!James’ Safety Presentation has a long lasting and significant impact on the Choices you make.James will share his message of ‘choice’, which he hopes will help other people to avoid the same mistakes he has made. James Wood made the wrong safety decision once and now he has to live with it for the rest of his life. As James puts it, ‘It was supposed to be a normal day, I got up, I went to work and went home 9 months later’.Links from todays show.
