You have asked us – How is Charlie doing today?

Well, we are glad to introduce a new 56-minutes video called “Remember Charlie – 30 Years Later”

Remember Charlie – 30 Years Later

New Video Release – October/2021

In this personalized one-on-one safety presentation Charlie talks about his journey from death’s door following a refinery explosion, and the cost of an accident then and even to this date, 30 years later, from a shortcut he took at his job resulting in being burned over 50% of his body, five years in hospital, the loss of his family, the loss of everything he treasured. Charlie drives home the importance of following safety procedures in this highly personal, private look at what happened to one man, and how it could happen to any one of us.

Safety Presentation Objectives (40-minutes)

To understand the cost of an accident on a personal level, and the devastating effects on one’s family;
To emphasize the significance of attitude and personal responsibility when it comes to safety;
To make people become more responsible for their own safety on the job, at home, at play, at travel, everywhere.
To alter people’s actions and behavior go from being thoughtless, lethargic and routine to “safety first & always”.
To raise one’s consciousness to a new level.

Included Q&A session (16-minutes) with provocative questions such as:

How do you think safety violations should be handled?
When did you realize the mistakes you made?
What management could have done differently to prevent this accident?
What about the internal responsibility system?
What is life like today?

Available in 56-minutes full length (includes the 40-min presentation and 16-min Q&A session), or in a short-edited version (40-minutes presentation only).

Remember Charlie (Original Keynote)

The Safety Presentation That Has Changed Millions of Lives

Accidents don’t happen to me… Accidents happen to someone else…

For more than 15 years, Charlie worked in an Exxon refinery, convinced he knew his job well enough to take shortcuts.

To Charlie, safety meetings were something to endure. Protective equipment was uncomfortable. Procedures only slowed the job down.

But a routine job he had performed a thousand times before became the one that changed everything.

Until one day…

One shortcut.

One ordinary job.

One split-second decision… leading to a catastrophic refinery explosion that left Charlie burned over 50% of his body and transformed a single moment into a lifetime of pain, loss, and devastating consequences.

More Than an Accident Story

Remember Charlie is not a presentation about OSHA regulations or company policies.

It is a powerful, firsthand account of how one unsafe decision forever changed the lives of an entire family.

Charlie takes audiences beyond the accident itself and into the painful reality that followed:

Months in a burn unit.
Years of surgeries and rehabilitation.
Permanent physical scars.
The emotional devastation of his wife, children, and parents.
A family forever changed by one split-second decision.

Because the greatest cost of an accident is rarely the injury itself. It’s what happens after.

Why This Message Is Different

Most safety training explains procedures.

Remember Charlie explains why those procedures exist.

Through honesty, humility, humor, and extraordinary emotion, Charlie helps every audience member recognize themselves in his story.

The shortcuts.

The overconfidence.

The “I’ve done this a thousand times.”

The belief that accidents happen to someone else.

Until they don’t.

This isn’t about fear.

It’s about perspective.

And that perspective changes behavior long after the presentation ends.

Lessons Every Worker Takes Home

Audiences leave with a renewed understanding that:

Every shortcut carries consequences.
Complacency is often the greatest workplace hazard.
Safety equipment exists for a reason.
Procedures protect lives—not schedules.
Every worker is ultimately responsible for their own safety.
Every decision at work affects the people waiting at home.

Whether you’re in manufacturing, construction, transportation, utilities, energy, healthcare, municipal services, or any other industry, Charlie’s message speaks to anyone who believes “it won’t happen to me.”

An Experience Your Team Will Never Forget

For more than four decades, Remember Charlie has remained one of the most requested safety presentations in North America because it reaches people where traditional safety training cannot.

Workers don’t remember another list of rules.

They remember Charlie.

They remember his scars.

They remember his family.

And they remember why going home safely matters.
