In this session, Joe Tantarelli recalls the events of June 5, 1983, when he was nearly buried alive while installing pipe in a trench that suddenly collapsed on him. Joe will discuss how human error contributed to making serious mistakes that almost caused him to die on the job. He’ll also share the physical and emotional effects that incidents like this have not only on the person injured, but also on family, friends, co-workers and an organization’s safety culture. You’ll learn strategies to help other workers avoid incidents.
