Queensland Government is launching a new film Forever young – Tim’s story on Friday 9 August.
The film targets young workers and employers about electrical safety and workplace safety
through a personal story.
The film focuses on the heart-wrenching experiences of Bill Martin whose son Tim died at
the age of 17 after he received an electric shock at work.
At the time of the incident, Tim was an electrical apprentice working on signage from an
elevating work platform. The platform came too close to high voltage power lines, and a
massive electrical current arced across the gap.
