Mr Martin shared the personal story of his son to raise awareness of the need to make electrical and workplace safety a priority for every business.

The film will not only help to raise awareness of the risks when working near electricity, but of the need to make sure all young Queenslanders were safe at work.

Each year, around four people die in electrical incidents and more than 3000 dangerous electrical events and serious electrical incidents are reported to the Electrical Safety Office.

Injuries and fatalities in the electrical industry are not restricted to touching live electrical parts, but also coming too close to electricity, falling from heights and working in confined spaces. A momentary lapse of attention can result in the severest of injuries or even death.

"Simple things like good induction, safety training, adequate supervision and having strong safety systems in place can go a long way to preventing workplace incidents."
