    Safety Week: "It Won't Happen to Me"

    Joe and Cameron sit down to talk about Wednesday's Safety Week topic: "It Won't Happen to Me."

Joe and Cameron discuss the importance of taking risks seriously and planning for the future. By acknowledging risks and taking preventative measures, we can better protect ourselves and avoid potentially devastating consequences.
