The Matthew Bowcott Story

Note: This video contains some graphic images.

This video is a true story about a young worker’s injury and his road to recovery. Matthew was just 19 when he was badly injured in a restaurant kitchen. His personal story is a testament to every worker’s right to know the hazards, to speak up about safety concerns, and to refuse unsafe work.
