Between a rock and a hard place - The Garry Nichols story

It pays to be safe and healthy at work, including working at your rural property. Many workers can be complacent about coming home from work safely each day to family and friends, but each year more than 100 people die at work and about 30,000 are seriously injured.

This film, about a rural tractor roll-over incident, shows how quickly an ordinary work day can change into something more disastrous. This compelling and tragic story is told by Garry and those closest to him. The film exposes the traumatic injuries to Garry and the emotional and financial impacts that followed as he struggled to maintain his relationships with family and friends and manage the financial impacts that resulted in him losing possession of his farm.

We encourage everyone in the community to make a personal commitment to improving workplace safety and making sure you, your employees and loved ones come home safely each day.
