Safety Awareness: Shattered: The Jeff Walters Story

This powerful video tells the first-hand story of a man who made a series of bad safety choices at work to save time and get home quicker. Those choices lead to a 19-foot fall to a concrete floor, a shattered arm, broken vertebrae and a year of rehabilitation. Jeff Walters uses himself as an example of what not to do in a workplace and lets others learn from his wrenching experience. The video shows how his safety short-cuts impacted his newlywed wife and their financial security. Walters emphasizes how the choices he made to save time and energy had far-reaching repercussions on others in his life, and that he did not have the right to make those choices for other people.

This video allows workers to learn by example, and Walters' message comes across loud and clear: Each worker has the talent, the ability and the courage to make smart safety choices every day at work. Failure to make the right safety choice can shatter your life and the lives of those you love. This video provides compelling reasons to follow safety procedures and guidelines every day, for every job.
