FIVE SECONDS It only takes 5 seconds to change your life. Jason Anker MBE, Proud To Be Safe

Safety is not a campaign with an end date Make that personal choice to speak up and make a difference.

A holistic approach

The positive impact on key performance indicators including turnover, absenteeism, presenteeism and ‘above the line’ behaviours (as well as accidents) means the very definition of a win-win.

I was paralysed from the waist down due to an avoidable accident on a construction site in 1993 when I was just 24 years old. I only started speaking about my accident in 2009 and that is reflected in a story that is as hard hitting as if it had happened yesterday. My passion is to prevent others from having to go through what myself, my family and friends have had to go through over the last 26 years. If we could stop just one person from suffering a life changing accident, then it is worth all the effort we put in.
