This is why I do what I do. Thank you for telling your story, and for doing the work you do in your travels on spreading the word on the importance of workplace safety! Because of what seems as constant employee turnaround, lack of training, and the mentality of "just do it" and "it dosen't happen here" these incidents continue to rise. We must always learn to take responsibility for ourselves, and for those around us. Workplace awareness and communication is key. The whole idea is to get out that door the same way you came in. God Bless!!
"Being unsafe is selfish" is so profound. Commend both of you on the strength to explain to your children the situation and the quality of life that is impacted by one decision. Thank you for sharing and will use in positive learning opportunities to prevent fall related incidents in construction.
I hate to "like" this with a thumbs-up vote, but it's because I'm grateful that Russ and Laurel are able to tell their family's story. Thank you for producing a video that can be used in training to save lives.
Thank you for making this video. To repeat what others have said, "being unsafe is selfish" is very powerful. We are using this video as part of our 2021 return to work induction after the holidays, to drive the message that the people around you are also "injured" when incidents happen at work.
I work in Engineering and IT at a hospital. My closest call so far is a plumbing snake accident. I hit a 90 degree elbow going vertical and the snake wrapped around my hand. It damaged my fingers terribly. Took 2 years to feel better. I did not report it. First time running a snake. Not my last. Respect safety measures.
Iteresting story. Thank you for sharing your story. it is inspiring ans educating on how we have to pay attention to our body and life while we look for money or help others.
I’m so sorry that this happened to you. My brother fell 30 feet off of a scaffolding because the hand rail had not been secured so when he grabbed it it came out in his hands. He landed on his feet crushing both ankles. After a long recovery he was actually able to walk again. He said that he thought on his way down that he would roll as he hit the ground to avoid injury. He even tried to get up. They threw a few thousand dollars at him for his pain and suffering and he kept working in construction.

At least you lived to tell the tale.

My job site supervisor fell over 40 feet off scaffolding but hit everything coming down and survived.
Risking your life for 6 bucks an hour 👍🏻 What a great life
6 bucks an hour was all it took to buy a home
Not enough detail!
Get rid of the irritating music and it will improve the video 100%.
Like, even though your spine got hosed, you can still be awesome to some extent. Way to go, babe!
“Being usage is selfish” is very cruel to the person harmed.
