Dan Plexman
After years of safely working in many construction industries, Dan moved into a 4-year electrical apprenticeship. Despite trying to address safety concerns with his supervisors, he found himself learning and working in a lax safety culture. One day he was seriously injured on the job when he was working alone – again.
During his final inspection, 17 feet up in a manlift, he came in close proximity to the live overhead power-lines. The electrical arc flash fire that resulted caused 3 – 6 degree burns to 60% of Dan's body before he fell to the ground. Doctors gave him a 13% chance of surviving.
Dan survived but has suffered years of surgeries, medical procedures and therapy. The accident also left him dealing with PTSD. Dan knows first-hand the serious effects this sort of thing can have on a person, their family, and their co-workers. Dan hopes that people will learn from his experience and embrace a culture of safety so no one else will suffer as he has.
