have the management team been included as well as leadership is the most inportant thing

A good presentation i saw was by Frank Carrano who talked about the accident he had suffered on a construction site and the effect it had on his family and friends. Guaranteed to get the message home. You can find details on his website at http://www.accident-awareness.co.uk/

Ken Woodward was very good when I saw him - if you search for his name, his homepage should come up.

Thanks all, as an International Company we have an in house theme of Focus To Zero, and Management are well and truly involved thanks (BoB Youel) , all I want is a presentation from someone that has first hand experience, of an accident at work, and has the ability to relate to an audience. I have my own experience having broken a femur in Saudi Arabia when working for a large well repected Petro Chem Company that did nothing more than give me six weeks pay...thats another story. However I do not want to be using myself as an example at the moment, I do however relate to it when people ask me how I got into "Safety". So will keep looking for the moment. Thanks again TonyG

Frank Carrano is probably a good option for you then. His accident was pretty horrendous and he not only looks at the effect it had on him, but on his colleagues and family too. Haven't seen any others but worth a look if you haven't already done so. The fact that I saw this guy's presentation about a year ago but could still remember virtually all of the details suggest it was a good presentation. Especially when I struggle to remember my own name half the time.

TonyG, try the guy Paul Burns, he does talks on accident prevention as he has been in a work place incident where he has had his leg literally burnt off and amazingly rebuilt by surgeons. His presentation is certainly an eye opener & a make you not only think but act on safety, changing both behaviour & attitudes towards H&S of all who attend his talks.
