Hi Safety Peeps.... I am looking for speakers who can talk about the real costs of accidents involving forklift trucks from personal experience and the life changes. I remember that there is a wheelchair bound speaker doing the rounds but can remember the name? Looking for something for a senior management team to start the culture change process rolling.... Any thoughts welcome Mike

The wheelchair bound person you are referring to is Jason Anker maybe? search youtube for "P2BS" for free videos of his you can use.

I think Jason was a fall from ladder rather than forklift? Have a look at this link https://fork-truck.org.u...t-safety-conference-2015 and especially this one from Mentor which will probably have a lot of info you can put forward to justify the initiative: https://fork-truck.org.u...nference%20%28003%29.pdf I've also sent a PM which might be of interest.

This happened a few years ago, but shows what can happen in the worst case. http://www.foodmanufactu...-000-over-forklift-death

Maybe when contacting him,or whoever, don't actually say "wheelchair bound". It is not a particularly appropriate description.
