WorkSafeBC: Skier breaks back

Viewer discretion is advised for this extremely personal and candid account by Josh Dueck, a daredevil skier who took a risk and ended up as a paraplegic. This six-minute, 48-second heart-rending video will change forever how you view risk-taking and its consequences. Though bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Josh Dueck has become a spokesperson for WorkSafeBC. Born in Kimberley, BC, Dueck now lives in Vernon. He is a four-time Canadian champion and was crowned the 2009 IPC World downhill champion. His outstanding performance in the men's slalom was rewarded with a silver medal at the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. This video is available on YouTube, courtesy of WorkSafeBC.

WCB Alberta Video

This professionally produced website offers downloadable videos on a variety of possible workplace safety scenarios: at the store, the deli, the restaurant, the gas station, the café, the lumberyard. Be forewarned: these videos are exaggerated and bloody and will be extremely unsettling to some viewers, but each is followed by practical options, such as "Prevent This," "Real Stories" and "Real Stats." Be patient if your online connection makes some videos slow to load, as each file is very large. Again, these videos are not for the squeamish: WCB Alberta - Bloody Lucky
