Your presentation opened my eyes to just how important safety is. It was very personal, emotional, and made a difference to the way I work and view safety. I feel for you and your family, I haven't cried like that for many years, but when you told your  story, and I related it to my family and how my death (or any ones) would really have a  catastrophic and as you said a "ripple" effect it really did change my outlook. 

Thank you Dallas, you made a massive difference in my life and outlook on safety, your  presentation will stick with me forever! I applaud your mission and commitment to making safety matter! Thanks again, from me, my family and my colleagues.

It helped me realise that safety is everyone's concern and that what happens in the office has a  more significant impact on site than what I thought. I appreciated your honesty, openness and  courage in sharing this with us.

Thank you for your time, your presentation moved me, and I am sure it will have a significant  impact on the minds of everyone who was here. I wish you all the best to you and your family! Reinforced to me that my actions may impact someone else's safety or ability to do their job  safely. 

It was heartfelt and authentic. From a technical perspective, I think you did a great job of  engaging everyone with good eye contact, filling the space you had and also using silence and  different voice levels to let people reflect on your message.

It makes it real. It makes it more than just the 'red tape.’ Phenomenal. Moving. Incredibly powerful. Your ability to express yourself and never apologise  for your emotions is commendable.

I didn't know your family. Still, I was working on NCX on the day that your father passed, and I  remember how pivotal a moment it was for me (I'd only been working in the industry for about  three weeks at the time). It will always be compelling, though heartbreaking, a reminder for me of  Why Safety Matters. I cannot compliment you enough 1) for the way you're able to give this  presentation the way that you do, but also 2) for the fact that you've taken the initiative to do it.  The industry so needs this kind of message to be reinforced, and I'm so grateful that you've  stepped up and are leading the way. We have so much to learn from you and your attitude. I'm  incredibly humbled, having heard your message.

We are all accountable, no matter where in the company you sit. Your presentation is compelling.  Thank you so much for being brave enough to do it. It will save lives - your courage and the  passing of your brother and father will not be in vain. I hope that doing this helps you achieve  acceptance in the five stages of grief.

It was very thought-provoking in regards to how & what decisions made in the office can affect  people on site. The presentation itself was well detailed in regards to making office-based staff aware of what it  is like actually underground on the construction site & how every decision we make could / can  affect the people around us. The personal delivery of the presentation was so emotionally moving that it gave everyone present a thought-provoking moment to take away.

Thank you, Dallas, for taking the time out to not only deliver this presentation to our construction  and office-based staff. You cannot beat knowing people in the industry like yourself Dallas that have physically  experienced it, and it is truly the only way to get the message through to the construction world,  not just tunnelling. Peoples life paths are unusual, you have won my respect as an individual to  see how you have genuinely self-reflected on you and the sad situations life has thrown your way  and still is. You have taken action, which is 95% of the population's problem. Keep going Dallas  and make sure you are getting paid for your priceless storey and the people you touch.

Through your tragic experiences, you have become an inspiration, keeping the practical explanation  and detail in your presentation. It shows the guys that don't know you that you are a guy from the  "Coal Face"..Important to relate... Also If you can refine the 3D animations of both your brothers  and fathers incident, they were right to follow up on with your story. The Financial part at the end was a high light and a good point no one thinks about.

I am saying this as a safety professional. Safety is always a part of my day to day routine. But to  be a part of the presentation has certainly made me think about safety from a different angle. We  are always learning, and education should always be a part of our workplace. Asking questions of  others, gaining experience and advice from other workers helps maintain a safety culture within a  workplace.

You delivered with such passion and the brutality of the accidents that occurred undoubtedly  makes you think about things when involved with any high-risk work. It certainly hit the core of high-risk work and the things that we all need to think about when we are on the job.

Your presentation today touched me very much as I lost my best mate, and work buddy about three  years ago from not getting enough rest and sleep from long days at work. Fatigue was a significant factor.

Your presentation today was tough for me and a lot of people in the room as you don't realise how  dangerous the workplace can be it's a real eye-opener for what things can go wrong if you're not  concentrating getting enough rest and cutting corners it's better to slow down take your time and  the job will run a lot smoother.
