Keynote Presentation

Brad Livingston
"Just A Second Ago"

Brad Livingston's life changed forever in an instant when a massive explosion occurred while he was working as a welder's helper at a natural gas well. Given only a five percent chance of survival and facing the possibility of losing both his hands and legs, Brad overcame unimaginable physical and emotional challenges through determination, faith, and the support of family, friends, and medical professionals.

In his powerful presentation, Just A Second Ago, Brad shares his firsthand account of how pride, shortcuts, complacency, attitudes, and perspectives can create the conditions for a life-altering workplace incident. His remarkable story serves as a compelling reminder that every decision made on the job site matters - not only for ourselves, but for our families, coworkers, and companies.

Attendees will leave inspired and equipped with a renewed commitment to making safety a personal responsibility every day.
