A Compelling Safety Video

In addition to this blog I write a blog specifically about electrical safety. Yesterday I posted a video on my Arc Flash and Electrical Safety blog that I've not been able to get out of my head. I woke up this morning with this video in my thoughts.

Many of the industrial safety videos I've seen, particularly those about arc flash safety, present gruesome images of injured workers. This video has those images, but it is very different. It shows the importance of love in industrial safety. "Love" and "industrial safety" are two phrases that don't seem to belong together, but "this video demonstrates that they do very much belong together.

The video, called "Donnie's Accident" was made by Donnie's family. It demonstrates the importance of love for your family; love for your children; love for your wife and because of this love why industrial safety is so important.

Use either of the above links to see the Donnie's Accident video.

    It is very compelling for sure and it is Love that got him through it. I to have a freind who was shocked by 69,000 volts and lives to tell his story. The love of his family and freinds got him through it also. He lost an arm and a leg with burns to 70% of his body. Vaughn Webb tells and shows his story through his webb site called Speaksafe and lives in Alberta Canada. His Love and Passion is sharing his story now.
