About Jason
Jason Anker was paralysed from the waist down due to an avoidable incident on a construction site in 1993 when he fell off a ladder. He was 24 years old.
His story of his life before the incident, the day of the incident, the time spent in hospital and rehab, his initial release from hospital and his struggle with life over the last 19 years is an honest and sometimes graphic account of the devastation the incident has had on Jason and his family & friends.
For 19 years he was unable to talk openly about his experience of a work related major incident. This is reflected in a story that is very raw; the emotion in which he delivers his talk is as strong as if it was the day of the incident. His unique story has a powerful impact and grabs the attention of those listening, from Directors, Managers, Supervisors and Operatives alike.
He is willing to talk openly about all of his experiences, the physical and physiological effects of a major incident
