Posted By Frank All I had a serious accident at work and was lucky to escape with my life. After my accident my company asked if I would be prepared to do a Presentation at Warwick University as to the Human Cost and Impact of my Accident. It had such a profound affect that the CEO of my company asked if I would be prepared to take my Presentation to all the Company sites. To date I have done over 100 Presentations which uses PowerPoint and some graphic Pictures of my injuries. The companies LTA, s reduced significantly and we managed to surpass 2 years without an accident. I have decided to go it alone and jump into the Health and Safety field and take my Safety Presentation on the road. I know it will be of limited value as a stand alone 'road show' despite being a useful lesson on 'when it all goes horribly wrong' I therefore wish to use my experience in the engineering sector of some 25 years and would like to offer my services at carrying out safety Audits, Risk Assessments, writing safety and isolation procedures along with this presentation. Some of the Presentations I have done have been tagged onto the Front end of Safety Courses to really hit home or re introducing a Safe system of work I have done IOSH Managing Safely; I am booked onto a NEBOSH Gen Cert early Jan and following on with the new Nebosh Level 4 in the summer. I am currently still in full time employment however in the New Year I will be leaving and setting up a freelance business. The Market place I am looking at is predominately Heavy Industry, Manufacturing plants, and the petro-chemical industry to name a few but I am finding it difficult to get any contacts in these areas. I would very grateful to receive any advice anyone may have on persuing my new career. Regards Frank
