    “My son lost his life in a workplace injury. He was a great kid.”

    Paul Kells speaks out for young workers’ safety.

    “My 19 year old son Sean was at his third day on the job. He was pouring a flammable liquid. He hadn’t been told that what he was doing was dangerous and precautions needed to be taken. The liquid ignited and exploded. Sean’s death was completely preventable.”
