So the campaign started was to get people who carry cell phones to put in a listing of ICE in their cell phone directory with a number that should be called In Case…See More

I hope the photos made a point. It is very sad for anybody to end up like that. You questioned if you ever saved a life. That is a fair question, but look at this way, have you ever dealt with a fatality that you KNOW you could have prevented? That would be hard to live with.
Being a safety professional is like being a livestock guard dog. You never really know what COULD have happened, until you don't have one watching over the herd.
Good Luck and keep in touch

I will attempt to attach a power point presentation on an actual electrical fatality. BEWARE there are some very graphic pictures. I showed them to our excavation division during a monthly safety meeting. It definately got their attention.
If this does not work or you are unable to open, e-mail me directly at- safety@pioneersand.com
Either way, let me know what you think and how it goes.
