I celebrate the opportunities that I have had to work in the health and safety arena for many years.  Clearly over time many aspects of safety have improved, but the constant change of our world provides new hazards and new challenges that will test our ability to keep all of us safe.  During my lifetime I have learned lessons from my own mistakes and experiences, as well as incidents that had profound effects on others.  In this talk I describe an incident where I was almost killed, an incident where I was overexposed to a chemical, and other experiences that fueled my passion for safety.  I will present conclusions and suggest ideas that might lead to new approaches to improve the state of safety of others in the future.

Lessons learned from incidents that shaped my passion for safety
