10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Tracks: Risk Reduction and Management

Kayla Rath was 9 years old when a decision her dad made at work nearly cost him his life. In this session, Kayla tells the story of what it was like to be pulled from school and told she might never see her father again. From the first night alone, to growing up with a father with a disability, Kayla speaks to the often-ignored truth that decisions made on the worksite cause a “ripple efect” in the lives of the injured worker’s family. Your decisions affect others. What happens when they affect the ones you love the most? No matter your industry, no matter your job, from the veteran to the new hire, Kayla’s story is one you need to hear.
