Allan James Moore

Safety Lessons From Stampeding Elephants

Planning ahead can only go so far and if your team thinks they’ll respond “perfectly” in the face of real danger, Allan James Moore has stories that come all the way from Africa that might surprise you. How we react in the face of risk can say a lot about our confidence in safety know-how, as well as our trust in those we work alongside.

Capitalizing on his background in standup comedy to give an interactive, on-the-edge-of-your-seat session, Allan will provide tools and insights that will help you and your team know how (and when!) to confidently speak up when things on the jobsite don’t feel right. If jobsite safety feels a little wild to your team, this session is one you can’t miss!
