Workplace Safety Speaker
Cathy Eagan-Spicer
Experience the powerful story of one family's resilience after a preventable farm accident and discover how it continues to inspire safer workplaces today.
Every Safety Decision Has a Human Story
Workplace safety is often measured in policies, procedures, and compliance.
But behind every safety decision is a person.
A family.
A future that can change in an instant.
When Cathy's father became entangled in an unguarded power take-off, her family began a journey that included multiple surgeries, months of rehabilitation, learning to walk again, and adapting to a completely different way of life. What could have been prevented became a reality they would carry forever.
Today, that experience serves as a reminder that every decision made on the job affects far more than the person at work.
