Charles Morecraft had never had an accident in his 15 years of work within a refinery. He knew what he was doing. But one night, working overtime, he cut one corner too many. Severely injured in an explosion, Charlie learned the hard way that "accidents do happen". He represents the very real consequences of abusing or ignoring safety practices. Remember Charlie. This simple slogan has become a battle-cry for many workers who have had the experience of listening to this remarkable man tell his story. Recovered from his burns, his depression and his fears, Charlie founded Phoenix Safety Management and travels the continent telling his story and inspiring others to take a more serious look at safety and what it means to each of us.
