According to OSHA, there is a forklift-related fatality in the U.S. “That really hammers home the human cost of accidents.”Ī big part of Samento’s presentation focused on forklifts, which are among the biggest workplace hazards. “I’ve been called in on 43 workplace fatalities,” he said. (He warned attendees at the start about the nature of the images, and during the presentation, he warned them again before showing slides or clips that might be upsetting.) He brought his gripping presentation, which uses graphic photos and videos of deaths and injuries, to the recent Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) Management Conference in Washington, D.C. The trauma affected him so much that he became a safety educator, and he’s developed a hard-hitting course that shows, in occasionally gruesome detail, what workplace injuries and deaths really look like. Years ago, he said he watched a friend die in an on-the-job accident.
