How far away is death: The benefit of a questioning attitude
• • •
Prior to working for PNNL, Dan Wharton was a 25-year-old apprentice on a job in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, when his life changed forever.
Wharton was severely injured in an arc blast while installing a 480V panel without the benefit of proper personal protective equipment.
In this five-minute video, you’ll hear Wharton detail the incident, his harrowing recovery, how it informs his approach to working around hazardous equipment today, and the benefit of a questioning attitude, one of Battelle’s Safe Conduct of Research (SCoR) principles.
