MOMENTS THAT MATTER
Moments That Matter is a photography and short story project inspired by people and safety, made by Absolute Safety. We believe that safety is about more than saving money or finishing a project, it’s about the people that get to come home. We created this site to tell the stories of the people that have a reason to stay safe. With pictures, videos, and quotes from real workers out on the job site, we aim to show the world what safety really means. Hopefully, by reading these stories, we will be inspired to stay safe in our own lives and remember the real reasons we work and live with safety. Please enjoy these stories, and remember them next time you are considering the safety of yourself or others. Feel free to reach out to Absolute Safety if you’d like to share your story or have any questions about safety.
