Paul Mahoney – Motivational Health & Safety Speaker
Having been involved in an industrial accident in 2000, Paul now travels the globe inspiring others in working for a safer today and tomorrow. Paul won’t talk stats or regulations to get his message across, he will though talk sport, films and food (the stuff we talk about every day). These subjects are mixed with the use of famous quotes and stories to inspire his audience to work safer and have safety conversations with each other to get people to work safe and ultimately home safe in one piece.
SIA General Secretary, Andrew Norman said, ‘Following an incredibly difficult 18 months, we are excited to have secured such distinguished speakers to address our Members at what promises to be a hugely informative and enjoyable event again this year’.
