ABSTRACT
This chapter begins with a basic holistic model of overall wellbeing as it relates to an individual. In the world of safety, disabled presenters such as Jason Anker, who was paralysed in a fall at work, and Ken Woodward, who was blinded at work, articulate the importance of maintaining physical wellbeing in the most profound way. The sobering statistics illustrate that a significant percentage of the working population are just getting by from day to day. As well as impacting directly on mental wellbeing, such immediate and significant personal concerns are very likely to impact on attention and concentration and could therefore also contribute to accidents in the workplace. In the world of safety, disabled presenters such as Jason Anker, who was paralysed in a fall at work, and Ken Woodward, who was blinded at work, articulate the importance of maintaining physical wellbeing in the most profound way.
