Dallas Adams delivers a raw and emotional presentation describing the impact a workplace accident can have on family, friends and work colleagues. 

With his experience in the industry, he describes the tragic accidents of his only brother in 2004 in a mining accident and his father in 2017 who was struck by a pressurized water pipe while maintaining a water treatment plant on a major tunnelling project in Sydney. 

Although he expresses his pain by demonstrating how he believed the accidents played out his intentions are clear.

If we can learn from this and understand the importance of safe work practices the industry will be better off.

 

 

All this described in the Dec/Jan 2017 digital edition on pages 10 and 11 of the tunnelling journal written by Tris Thomas where Dallas's story went Global.
