    Wendy Lark & Andreia Viegas, Workplace Tragedy Family Support Group
    A powerful message!
    Workplace Tragedy Family Support Groups main aim is to act as a safety tool to prevent unnecessary breaches of safety standards. Having met literally hundreds of family members, they know first hand about the shocking impact of a workplace death on the family. Discussion will also be around the impact of a workplace death on managers and company representatives, which in turn can also impact upon their families - not just the people on site or the families directly effected. Workplace deaths have a rippling effect. Whilst concentrating on the safety aspects, we will also hear from someone who has lived through such a tragedy.
