This session could save your life. On April 3, 2001, Chad Hymas was involved in a serious accident, leaving him a quadriplegic. One thing has stayed with Chad since that life-altering day in 2001…the importance of job safety.
Chad knew at the time the accident occurred that he had been trained not to take shortcuts and to always perform his tasks with his personal safety and those around him as his top priority. He knew better, but never thought this could happen to him.
Chad Hymas will present “Roll With Safety” at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 16, at the Indiana Convention Center. The program is open to all FENCETECH attendees with the Full Package and Education & Events Package. Exhibits Only attendees can add this presentation for $100. Register for FENCETECH.
