Niagara Mom Who Lost Son Speaks of Workplace Safety

A West Lincoln mom who lost her son in a workplace accident has a message about safety on the job.

On September 26th, 2014, 17 year old Adam Keunen lost his life when he was hit by a front end loader. 

The teenager had just started his first week of a high school co-op work placement. 

In a video released by SafeGen to mark National Day of Mourning, his mother Elaine says the loss of Adam has left a big hole in her family over the last six and a half years. 

Elaine Keunen is encouraging people to follow their instincts, and refuse work they feel is unsafe.
