Owner/Facilitator at Key Consultation Solutions

⚡️ Charging myself up for a big two weeks coming on site in the NT with the Sante Team! ⚡️ I’ve been asked a lot lately where my passion for WHS and ensuring everyone goes home in same, or even a better the physical and mental condition, as they arrived comes from, so I thought I would share just one of my drivers⁉️ For many years in my early career as a Cement Lab Technician I thought lifting limits and good manual handling techniques were for people who weren’t fit and strong. I was in my 20’s, fit and strong and I could do it! 💪🏻 Eight years ago I found out the hard way that when you put your body under undue strain it will push back sooner or later! I learnt a new respect for relentless and constant pain and what it can do to not only your physical but your mental health! 😣 I now have an internal nerve stimulator in my abdomen that I charge weekly to keep the pain under control so I can function and assist others to learn from my mistakes. You and your team may not face the consequences of not managing your manual handling risks today or tomorrow, but eventually your body will give out and this can be life changing! We need to act today! Like so many WHS risks the consequences may not be realised for years to come! I am a walking talking example! #acttodaychangetomorrow #worktolive #keyconsultationsolutions #pinkbootsafety #throughengagementandawareness #consultationiskey
