Charlie Morecraft: A Real Story That Redefined Safety Training

Charlie Morecraft—an experienced refinery operator—once believed accidents happened only to “other people.” But one shortcut during a routine task triggered an explosion that burned over half his body and changed every part of his family life, career, and future.
