Billy Parker

Billy Parker is a SAFETY ADVOCATE who has a passion for saving limbs and lives. Billy has 20+ years experience in the welding and fabrication trade. He has participated in and applied OSHA SAFETY STANDARDS from Confined Space to Lockout–Tagout.

Billy is a member of a group called “Moving Forward Limb Loss Support Group” and is a CPV(Certified Peer Visitor) with the Amputee Coalition, bringing together amputees and their care givers. He also volunteers as a personal assistant showing other amputees how to use their new prosthesis and a recipient of a 2018 Comp Laude award for Injured Worker.

One day while cleaning out a machine (a drywall shredder) while it was running he was caught and was being pulled into the machine. Now Billy’s mission is to bring SAFETY AWARENESS to the workplace. He wants to share a story about the mistakes made that January morning and how losing his arms has changed the way he lives and feels about life.Through personal stories,humor and real life situations Billy can make sure your employees will remember the “WHY” behind SAFE WORK PROCEDURES.

Rick Rollins

Ricky is a masterful storyteller that will interact with the audience, ask for their participation, and keep them engaged for the entire presentation. He will get them to laugh and maybe shed a tear. Ricky will tell the story of the workplace accident that almost took his life 27 years ago. He will also tell four more stories from the perspective of father, husband, brother, friend, co-worker, supervisor, and department manager of things that have affected his circle. Some good and some not so good. In each story is a lesson or two that each person can take away to use at home and at work for themselves and the people they love. Each story will have a twist that the audience does not see coming and that will help them remember those lessons. You will think deeply about the people you love and how what happens to you would affect them. And also, how your influence can make their lives safer. Ricky now shares his takeaways from each story to help others not have “The Day They Will Remember” for the rest of their lives.
