Following on from the recent sminar we completed with the Southwest WWT and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) I thought I would share with those who couldn’t be there some video from our presentation on working at height.

The keynote speaker on the day was Jason Anker.  To say his talk contained a powerful message for everyone in the room would be an understatement, I was struggling to stay composed at points on hearing about how deeply his fall from a height of just 10 feet had affected his life and those of his loved ones.

Those lucky enough to have experienced Jasons talk first hand will find it all the more difficult to understand the actions of the person featured in the video below.  When we start to consider who else might have been affected by this one persons actions above a busy Bath Street incredulity can turn to anger.

Take a moment to reflect on what’s in this video, there’s nothing funny about it.  If you’re still not convinced then allow Jason Anker to bring the lifetime consequences of an accident into shaper focus (link provided below) before watching it again.

We all have choices to make and constraints on our time, its just a question of how much you’re willing to risk, but before you make that choice you really need to think about the  consequences.
