Safety, It's In Your Hands

Mr. Parker is a SAFETY ADVOCATE who has a passion for saving limbs and lives.  Billy has over twenty (20) years experience in the welding and fabrication trade. 

Billy is a member of a group called “Moving Forward Limb Loss Support Group” and is a (Certified Peer Visitor) CPV with the Amputee Coalition, bringing together amputees and their care givers.  He also volunteers as a personal assistant showing other amputees how to use their new prosthesis and a recipient of a 2018 Comp Laude award for Injured Worker.  

​One day while cleaning out a machine (a drywall shredder) while it was running he was caught and pulled into the machine.  Now Billy’s mission is to bring SAFETY AWARENESS to the workplace.  He shares a story about the mistakes made that January morning and how losing his arms has changed the way he lives and feels about life.  Through personal stories, humor, and real life situations, Billy makes sure you remember the “WHY” behind SAFE WORK PROCEDURES.
