Brandon Schroeder, Believe in Safety, LLC

Everyone makes decisions about safety and many of them in an instant. The wrong safety habits make it easier to make wrong decisions that are impossible to undo. Brandon survived an arc flash explosion that should have killed him. Listen as he recounts the tragedy and discusses the contributing factors and how it all could have been avoided. This presentation leaves delegates with a stronger understanding, and respect, for doing the job correctly and safely.
