FREE Working Well Together Event: Snakes and Ladders (Considering Working at Height)
This is one of a series of free partnership events run by the industry for the industry, as part of the UK-wide Working Well Together (WWT) campaign.
This event will look at working at height – how to do it safely and the reasons why. The vent is key to those working at height including electrical installers, building maintenance engineers, facilities management specialists, steel frame erectors, roofers, solar panel installers, renewables companies, wind turbine installers and similar.
The South West Working Well Together group are pleased to introduce keynote speaker Jason Anker.
Jason was paralysed due to an avoidable incident on a building site many years ago when he fell off an unsecured ladder. He was 24 years old. Jason speaks on the emotional perspective of why Health and Safety is not just about ticking boxes and highlights the importance of listening to key behavioural safety messages when working on site.
Jason’s story is really about being at rock bottom, having the determination to pick yourself up, change direction in life and then trying to make a difference to others. www.jasonankerlive.co.uk
