Philip Smallman could have lost his life as a result of a workplace accident. He didn't – but will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. One small lapse in concentration with his arborist work and his world came crashing down. He is now a paraplegic.

Phil is unique. He is a professional speaker on a mission. In a few powerful hours, he will change attitudes towards workplace safety.

Most Australian companies have been very progressive in improving our workplaces over the last two decades. The final hurdle is personal accountability and commitment from each individual to build a sustainable safety culture.

Phil is on a mission to help individuals, no matter what their role in the company to understand why it's important to contribute to a safe culture.

Workplace safety, as you know, isn't just all about saving lives. It's about preventing injury and the trauma that means for workers, their family, workmates and the company.

Phil is having a powerful effect and bringing about big changes in workplace attitudes towards safety. This is being reflected by a change in behaviour by workers, both towards their fellow workers and towards management.
