After working 25 years as a firefighter and paramedic, Martin Lesperance has treated thousands of injuries and medical emergencies. Now retired, Martin is a popular safety speaker, sharing his experiences with workers in order to prevent injuries.

Over the years employers have discovered that their employees miss more time from work as a result of "off-the-job" accidents than due to injuries experienced on the job.
