Youngstrom Safety

We do safety presentations, almost anywhere, for any shift, in any industry. We also offer virtual presentations. My husband, Russ, is a work-related paraplegic. I have been the wife of an injured worker for over twenty-eight years. By presenting both perspectives of the permanent and ongoing consequences of ignoring safety precautions, we hope to cause even just one worker out of each audience to think twice about doing something unsafe. I begin, by explaining what it was like receiving "the phone call", and driving to the hospital. Russ then explains the habits and the circumstances that led up to his accident, and the accident itself. We both discuss the physical, financial and emotional consequences of his split-second decision. We hope to show our listeners how one careless act has affected every aspect of our lives (thirty-two surgeries in twenty-eight years!) Hopefully, individuals will take it to heart, and think about all of the people in their life who would be affected, if something happened to them.
