Gary Norland is a world-class speaker with a passion for safety. He worked construction for years until an electrical accident sent him to the emergency room with burns on 37 percent of his body.
He was told his brain and spinal cord was permanently damaged. More than 50 surgeries later, he has 40 percent use of his legs. Gary talks about the ripple effect workplace accidents have on the family, co-workers, and community of those injured.
His images of the accident leave an impact on workers and companies. This is reality and Gary wants to ensure it doesn’t become another person’s life.
