WELCOME TO SAFETY SPEAKER


SAFETY PRESENTER


ATTITUDE IS ‘FREE’ SO WHY PAY THE PRICE!

Be inspired and have your attitudes challenged by inspirational safety speaker
Hawk Vagg.
Attitude, Safety and Culture are three words that define the message delivered
by Hawk to audiences across Australia,
as he teaches and inspires people to challenge their own attitudes towards
safety at work.
Join Hawk on his journey from devastation and despair to living a full and
productive life, and learning along the way that the road back was ‘not all
about him’.


SERVICES

Hawk believes in telling it as it is and sharing his journey with his audiences
so they embrace 'attitude, safety and culture' in their working lives.
Hawk's presentation are ideal for workers in all industries and occupations,
schools and community groups.


HAWK'S PRESENTATION INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:




IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, OK!

Hawk’s core presentation talking about his workplace injury and journey back to
a normal fulfilling life. A fun, confronting and engaging presentation that
brings the audience along with Hawk on the journey and confronts all their
attitudes to safety.


WALK A DAY WITH HAWK

Life in a wheelchair and how that impacts on every aspect of your life. Safety,
Attitude and Culture are intertwined throughout the workshop. The perfect follow
up workshop to ‘It’s not about you – Ok’. We recommend scheduling this enjoyable
and highly interactive session 2-3 months after Hawk’s main presentation.


ATTITUDE INDUCTION

The perfect adjunct to your company safety induction training. You teach the
policy and procedures and let Hawk back that up with the focus being Attitude,
Safety and Culture!. (Contact Hawk to have the presentation specifically
tailored to link up with your own in house induction training.)




MEET HAWK VAGG

In December 1998, tall strapping farmer, Hawk Vagg was standing on a tractor’s
front-end loader on a farm near Jerilderie NSW, elevated so he could cut down
the higher branches of a huge river red gum which had toppled in a recent storm;
as he chain sawed off the last big trunk, he miscalculated the way it would fall
and it knocked him off the tractor. Hawk plunged onto a steep river bank - a
fall that changed his life forever.

TESTIMONIALS



 * YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GIFT AS A LIFE SAVER
   
   I sat through your presentation yesterday with mixed emotions those of
   sadness, sorrow, anger… where you can directly and indirectly impact and
   change the lives of many… you have been given a great gift of a Life Saver to
   many but at a tremendous personal sacrifice. I have asked myself what could I
   do for Hawk, my families, peers, colleagues and friends and came up with —
   Think and act safely in everything I do and ask / tell others to do the same
   to protect them from harm. 97.8% of our delegates said Hawk’s presentation
   was excellent / good.
   
   Rick Alcock, National Manager, Construction Oil & Gas L&H Group

 * INSPIRED BY HIS WORDS
   
   Yesterday both myself & Ashlea Wright were invited to attend the Shell Global
   Safety day at the Pinkenba terminal on behalf of G4S Secure Solutions. As
   part of the presentation, we were privileged to listen to Hawk Vagg and his
   story relating to the accident in 1998. Hawk’s powerful and heart wrenching
   description of the events, & the people affected by that day in 1998, left
   both myself & Ashlea moved & inspired by his words. Hawk’s message has had a
   huge impact on my approach to everyday moments in life & highlighted the need
   to be vigilant & remain safe wherever we are in life, be it at work or home.
   In conjunction with Shell’s presentation, it was an uplifting & educational
   approach to what remains a common goal amongst us all – a safe
   workplace/environment. On behalf of G4S, I would like to thank Shell for
   extending the invitation. I wish Hawk Vagg continued success with his
   presentations around the country and personally thank Hawk for raising my
   safety awareness to a higher level of appreciation. Good Luck Hawk. Thank you
   all.
   
   John Broughton Branch Manager QLD G4S Secure Solutions

 * THE BOYS COMMENT ABOUT THINGS YOU MADE THEM AWARE OF IN YOUR PRESENTATION
   
   Hello Hawk, better late than never, I would like to thank you for the day you
   spent here on site. As recently as a week ago, some of the boys comment about
   things you made them aware of in your presentation. The feedback has been
   very good and attitude to safety awareness have changed for the better. Your
   posters are a very good reminder for the workers, not just the workers that
   were there on the day, other workers have commented on them as well. I
   believe the effects of your visit will assist in keeping the safety awareness
   on the right track for some time.
   
   Russelll Mallett, Safety Officer Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal Pty Ltd

 * IT MADE A REAL IMPACT ON EVERYONE
   
   Hi Hawk, I hope you are well. The guys are still talking about your
   presentation, it made a real impact on everyone. We are making a poster and
   just wanted to check with you if it was ok to use your “mantra” — “She’ll be
   right mate, But… what if I am wrong”
   
   Greg McCluand, Plant Manager, Iplex Pipelines Australia Pty Ltd

 * CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES
   
   Hawk shared his story with the Moorvale team and left everyone with a
   powerful message to stop and think about the choices you make and the
   consequences they could have on you and the people around you.
   
   Nicole Challen from Leighton Contractors Moorvale Mine

 * A VERY RELEVANT AND WORTHWHILE EXPERIENCE
   
   I just wanted to let you know that we had great feedback for Hawk ranging
   from our Sub-Contractors, Business HSEQ Director and Regional Director. Thank
   you for assisting with the organisation of what was a very relevant and
   worthwhile experience.
   
   Laura Greene Laing O’Rourke OHS – Port Botany

 * I COULD SEE IT MADE AN IMPACT ON THE LADS
   
   I just wanted to say that I thought your speech / presentation was brilliant,
   it was a very hard hitting speech that I could see it made an impact on the
   lads. I thought it was well delivered and your detailed description of the
   accident really hit home. I was especially moved by the aftermath of your
   accident and the way it’s affected you and your life.
   
   Neil O’Donnell, H&S Advisor Port Botany Laing O’Rourke

 * I TOOK AWAY SOME PERSONAL REFLECTIONS AND TIMELY REMINDERS
   
   I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and thanks for
   your heart-felt and very personal presentations here for us at Toowoomba
   Regional Council. I have received very positive feedback from attendees at
   both sessions you delivered last Wednesday. Overall, I took away some
   personal reflections and ‘timely reminders’ to remember about some of the
   decisions we make in life, especially around keeping safe both personally and
   for those around us.
   
   Andy Van der Syde – Toowoomba Regional Council, Senior Organisational
   Development Officer

 * YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION
   
   Hi Hawk! Thanks so much for speaking with us today at Pacific Seeds. It made
   a huge impact and I’ve already had many staff members tell me how beneficial
   the talk was and that it really made them think. We’ve even got a worker who
   has now decided to call the professionals at home to do a job that her and
   her husband had planned to do this weekend. You are an inspiration and I look
   forward to seeing you in the near future for phase 2.
   
   Michelle Lennox, Occupational Health & Safety Office of the Toowoomba Branch
   of Pacific Seeds

 * ACCOLADES AND PRAISE FOR HAWK VAGG’S SAFETY PRESENTATION
   
   In short — bloody awesome Hawk was fantastic. He was extremely professional
   but also down to earth and realistic. They presented and pitched the session
   at exactly the right level for the audience. I am sure Hawk was able to “turn
   on a few lights” as I like to say. I know that some of the audience,
   particularly the younger workers, found it confronting initially but with
   Hawk’s style and honesty everyone left the room with a stronger resolve to
   take the actions they need to in their work fronts.
   
   Mike Tierney, CMC

 * YOUR MESSAGE WAS VERY CLEAR
   
   Hi Hawk, I would like to thank you for coming to our project recently to
   deliver your powerful safety message from your own personal experience to our
   BSO project employees, the message of complacency, not looking after yourself
   and your workmates was very clear with the outcome if you carry out an unsafe
   act it will change your family, friends and your life forever. The days you
   were here on site changed the way people looked at the safety of themselves
   and others and has continued since you left, your name and circumstance is
   often raised out in the field by the employees, at prestart and induction to
   site. Thanks once again and will see you again on another job.
   
   Regards Russell Barham | Lead EHS Specialist. Broadmeadow Sustaining
   Operations Project Site Address: Gate 18, Red Hill Road, PMB Moranbah QLD 474

   I enjoyed your talk and will stop and think about what you said next when
   going to cut corners.

   Hi mate! or should I say LEGEND! I had a bad day yesterday dealing with
   stuff, Thought I had it bad! I was speechless listening to your journey! Mate
   you will forever be in my thoughts.
   
   Masey Jase

 * YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP,
   
   Hi Hawk, I would like to thank you on behalf of Bechtel Equipment Services
   Gladstone for coming to our yard recently. Your presentation sent a powerful
   safety message to our employees from your own personal experiences. You could
   have heard a pin drop, the employees were so intentive. You really brought
   home the message of safety. We are looking forward to your next presentation.
