John Drebinger

Official Description  

“Here’s the app to connect with unique safety speaker and author John Drebinger. 

You’ll get quick and easy access to the best and latest John has to offer: his blog posts (packed with safety topics you can use), videos, online store, his favorite restaurants around the country and even the latest in using “social networking tools” to spread your safety message.

You’ll also get an instant notification when John has a special announcement for you.

An innovator in safety communication his two books have been a great success and saved many lives and prevented many injuries.  With this app you will get John’s newest innovations before they appear anywhere else.

Using magic and humor, he has delivered his innovative message to thousands over the past twenty-two years. Of the hundreds he has served – a small sample includes – NASA, ExxonMobil, Boeing, Anheuser Busch, all branches of the United States Armed forces, Twenty-Mile Coal Company, Southern California Edison, General Motors, and Sony Pictures. 

His first book, “Mastering Safety Communication”, has sold over 75,000 copies and his latest book, “Would You Watch Out For My Safety?” is already on its third printing in less than a year.”¹
