CSG June 2024 speaker:James Wood

How storytelling connects to safety

Presentation by: James Wood , Director, CNB Safe

CSG event video now available (members only)

James Wood (‘Woody’) had a job he loved and a great future as a diesel mechanic on mine sites. That was lost in a split second with an accident that left him in a wheelchair. Now he works hard to keep others safe.

On 11 June Woody shared with CSG his special insights and experience on how to get the safety message across from the workshop floor to the Board room.

This knowledge comes from visiting countless work sites, companies, and organisations, talking to them about the real impact of workplace injury.
