DAN PLEXMAN BIOGRAPHY
Dan Plexman moved into a 4-year electrical apprenticeship after years of safely working in many construction industries. He learned and worked in a lax safety culture despite trying to address safety concerns with his supervisors. One day he was seriously injured on the job.
While trying to address safety concerns with his supervisors, Dan Plexman learned and worked in a very lax safety culture during his apprenticeship. Ironically, to check off the box on the form, Dan’s General Foreman appointed him as the Safety Rep for his crew while he was still an apprentice because no one else wanted the job. Dan was told the position was strictly on paper.
Unfortunately, one day changed everything for him when he found himself working alone – again. This time he was 17 feet up in a man lift doing his final inspection when he came close to the live overhead power lines. An electrical arc flash fire resulted. The flash fire caused 3 – 6 degree burns to 60% of Dan’s body before he fell 17 feet to the ground. Doctors gave him a 13% chance of surviving this preventable accident at the hospital.
Dan Plexman survived the fire, but it did not just burn his body, sentencing him to years of surgeries, medical procedures and therapy. This horrific accident also left him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Dan’s family felt the brunt of the accident, too. Their loved one was severely injured, and that changed everything.
Today, while Dan Plexman is forever a changed man, he has learned much on his road to recovery. Dan says he wouldn’t change anything about what happened to him because the experience has catalysed his personal growth and inner healing. He cites that while we can’t always choose what happens to us, we can always choose how we respond. While it’s taken many years, he has realised that this experience has made him a better person.
But Dan says people don’t need to go through something so horrific to grow. Because of this accident, he knows first-hand the severe effects this sort of thing can have on a person and their family and co-workers. Dan hopes people will learn from his experience and embrace a safe culture so no one else will suffer as he has.
Preventable accidents shouldn’t happen. Dan wants to raise awareness about the great need for well-thought-out and practised emergency rescue plans and effective work safety cultures protecting workers, their families, equipment, and companies.
