Abstract	Electrical accidents can have deadly and tragic consequences that extend far beyond the job site. A climate of safety must be created in the workplace in order to help prevent such accidents. Increasing electrical safety awareness and knowledge is one vital step, but technical information alone is often too faceless and distant to affect attitudes toward safety. Using the educational outreach done with the stories of Jim Flach and Tom Dickey, this paper addresses how personal stories can be used to foster attitudinal changes toward safe work practices, resulting in an enhanced climate of safety.
