WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Since Christopher Cassaniti’s tragic loss due to a jobsite scaffold collapse in Sydney, his mother Patrizia has been on a mission to get infront of as many workers as possible to share her story of the loss, the grief and the plea for change in the culture of the industry. Starting with shifting complacency in every worker and giving them the courage to speak up when they feel they are in danger or see unsafe work practices, without being victimised or have fear of losing their job.
Patrizia is not only there as a motivational speaker but a as mum who wants to resonate with workers on a personal level and inspire them to always work safe so that they can go home safe to their families every day.

Read MoreYou are doing such an amazing job Patrizia. I saw one of your presentations a couple of years back thanks to ADCO Constructions and can still remember it like it was yesterday.

Keep up the great work!

Read MoreYour talk was very powerful and I’ve noticed a difference in culture on our job since. The work crew were very engaged in your story. An unbelievably tough journey, no doubt, but if it can make a difference in the industry, Christopher’s loss will not be in total vein. It must take a lot of courage to do what you do and your son would be extremely proud of you.
