ESPN’s Hannah Storm set to return 3 weeks being burned in propane gas grill
accident
NEW YORK — ESPN anchor Hannah Storm will return to the air on New Year’s Day, exactly three weeks
after she was seriously burned in a propane gas grill accident at her home. Storm suffered second-
degree burns on her chest and hands, and first-degree burns to her face and neck. She lost her
eyebrows and eyelashes, and roughly half her hair.
Storm will host ABC’s telecast of the 2013 Rose Parade on Tuesday. Her left hand will be bandaged and
she said viewers might notice a difference in her hair texture where extensions have been added. “I’m a
little nervous about things I used to take for granted,” she said by phone this weekend from Pasadena,
Calif. “Little things like putting on makeup and even turning pages on my script.” The award-winning
sportscaster and producer was preparing dinner outside her home in Connecticut on the night of Dec.
11 when she noticed the flame on the grill had gone out. She turned off the gas and when she reignited
it “there was an explosion and a wall of fire came at me.”

“It was like you see in a movie, it happened in a split-second,” she said. “A neighbor said he thought a
tree had fallen through the roof, it was that loud. It blew the doors off the grill.” With her left hand, she
tore off her burning shirt. She tried to use another part of her shirt to extinguish the flames that
engulfed her head and chest, while yelling for help. Her 15-year-old daughter, Hannah, called 911 and a
computer technician who was working in the house grabbed some ice as Storm tried to cool the burns.
Soon, police and rescue teams arrived at the house. Storm’s husband, NBC sportscaster Dan Hicks, also
had returned home with another of the couple’s three daughters. As her mother was being treated, the
younger Hannah calmly said something that, days later, her mom could laugh about. “OK, Mommy, I’m
going to do my homework now,” she said.
Storm was taken by ambulance to the Trauma and Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center and was
treated for 24 hours. “I didn’t see my face until the next day and you wonder how it’s going to look,” she
said. “I was pretty shocked. But my overarching thought was I’ve covered events with military members
who have been through a lot worse than me, and they’ve come through. I kept thinking, ‘I can do this.
I’m fortunate.’”
Other than going to Christmas Eve Mass, Storm hadn’t been outside until her trip to California. ESPN
reworked its anchor schedule while she was recovering, and NBC and the Golf Channel rearranged their
staffing while Hicks attended to his wife. Storm is set to host her fifth Rose Parade, with some changes.
She’s left-handed, and taking notes is almost impossible. Dressing and showering are challenges, too.
Storm said that long before her accident, she’d been inspired by Iraq War veteran, actor and “Dancing
With the Stars” winner J.R. Martinez, the grand marshal at last year’s parade. He was severely burned in
a land mine accident while serving overseas. One attraction of this year’s parade that she was eager to
see — the Nurses’ Float, and she hoped to use that moment on air to thank everyone who had taken
care of her.
Storm wants to anchor “SportsCenter” in Bristol, Conn., next Sunday. After that, the Notre Dame alum is
ready to go in person to watch the No. 1 Irish play Alabama in the national championship game at
Miami. She said the school reached out after hearing about her injuries and had been very supportive.
“More than anything, I feel gratitude,” she said. “Something like this really makes you appreciate

ISMA-Involved Safety Meeting Activity
Activity: What’s Missing?
Estimated Time: 5 Minutes
Materials Needed: The attached sheet as an overhead or PowerPoint Slide
Reference materials: See ISMA below:
The ISMA:
Place sheet below on an overhead and ask one question: what is missing?
The answer: nothing, this is the way it’s supposed to be. The only numbers intended to
be on this slide are the ones listed.
The Take-a-ways:
Too often, we try to change others or dig deep trying to find something that’s not there.
Accept people for who they are. Use each person’s strengths to accomplish the team’s
goal. In safety each of us has strengths and talents that can contribute to the success of
the organization, find and nurture those talents in others instead of putting things in
where they were never intended.
Let this also be a reminder of ‘blind spots.’ Everyone misses some detail from time to
time…it takes the entire team to see the entire picture.

Tools for Pros!
Safety Committees -A MAP for Success
By Matt Forck, CSP & JLW
To create real change within an organization, on must alter resources, values or procedures, this
according to Clayton M. Christensen author of the New York Times Bestseller, An Innovator’s Solution.
To be successful, safety committees need sufficient time and budget (resources). The organization must
establish a value base that fosters safety. But, once those are in place, we still need a means (procedure)
to cultivate safety committee success.
Finding the pot holes…
In the past, safety committees have done as well as can be expected. We have asked them to set goals
in an attempt to ensure their proactive success and we have encouraged and supported these goals. But
in failing to offer a specific action plan we have asked our committees to ‘play ball’ without defining the
field. Imagine a baseball team attempting to ‘play’ without a defined field, a pitcher’s mound, home
plate, batter’s box, bases, fowl lines or assigned positions.
A team can play hard but without a defined field it is hard to win. And, in the past our committees have
at times played hard, bringing awareness initiatives forward or offering fix-it solutions to issues. Yet,
rarely does a committee stay focused and on task each month throughout a year. Often, instead of
being consistently proactive and awareness driven, they become reactive, engaged in few if any safety
awareness activities. Some fall into the trap of exhausting a great deal of time discussing items that are
not safety related. Most have a plan for a few months but few have a plan for each month. Many, in an
attempt to do something, grab issues that should have already been addressed by management. And,
management lets the committee have the issue, thankful that they are doing something. Again, our
committees are playing hard, they are just not sure of the ‘field.’
A wise truth reads, "The arrow that hits the bull's eye is the result of a hundred misses." Our committees
have shot many arrows, some hitting the bull’s eye and some falling short. Over the last few years, I
have taken keen note of what arrows have hit and which ones missed. In so doing, I introduce the Safety
Committee MAP (Monthly Awareness Plan), a strategy that will hit the bull’s-eye month after month.
Begin the drive…
To begin the MAP process, brainstorm using the following questions. Where are our workers taking
shortcuts? What are we doing that gets us hurt? What safety rules are neglected? Which safety rules are
the most important? What does our peer observation data tell us? What training do we need this year?
What needs does our community have? What holidays do we celebrate? Twenty minutes of
brainstorming can produce a hundred or more possible themes.
Pick your favorite twelve. These will be your safety themes for the year (one per month with a monthly
template provided below). You and the committee have the discretion to change a theme if needed but
at least you have established your framework for the year.

Shifting into gear…
For each theme the committee should develop a MAP (Monthly Awareness Plan), each MAP should
include the following.
Two Safety Activities. A safety activity is something done outside of a safety meeting that brings
awareness to safety and your monthly theme. It might be a note taped to a locker, stickers or awareness
items in trucks or at workstations etc.
An Involved Safety Meeting Activity; which is a safety meeting that involves the entire group. It can be a
game, activity or exercise that gets everyone involved. There are references that can help with this such
as the attached book, ISMA –101 Ways to Get Your People Involved, internet search using key words
‘games trainers play’ or resources at libraries or book stores.
An outside safety speaker. This is an individual from outside of the work group that can share his/her
insights on the monthly theme. It might be a subject matter expert from the community (police officer,
doctor) or an individual from another part of the company.
Distribute at least one type of safety educational material during the month; this is an item such as a
quiz, cross word puzzle, word search or other educational game. It can be used during a safety meeting
(or some other time) to educate the group on the monthly theme. These can be easily found on the
Internet or created using inexpensive ‘word game’ software.
Finally, hand out at least one safety trinket per month. A safety trinket is a tangible item that is given to
employees to bring continued awareness to the monthly safety theme. For example, a Crunch Candy Bar
can be used to remind co-workers not to be caught in a ‘line of fire’ crunch.
Once each have chosen at least two safety activities, an outside speaker, an involved safety meeting, a
quiz and a trinket, assign responsibility for each to ensure the task is completed.
Why unfold the MAP?
The MAP concept does seven unbelievable things for your organization. The MAP shows caring. The soft
side of safety is about relationships. Our people don’t care what we know until they know we care.
People know that you care when you are there for them, out front and visible. The MAP framework
fosters caring and relationships.
Involvement. So many committees have asked me in the past, how do I get my coworkers involved? We
typically think someone is involvement when they come forward to deliver a safety meeting or write a
safety quiz. Let’s face it, that doesn’t happen often. When following the MAP, everyone is involved.
When I hand an employee a safety trinket or include him/her in an involved safety meeting activity
he/she just became involved in safety. And, involvement equals participation, which leads to ownership
that equals results!
The MAP fosters safety committee teamwork. Did you know that a Belgium Draft Horse could pull 8,000
pounds by himself? If you team two horses together they can pull 18,000 pounds. If you train them to
work as a team, they can pull 25,000 pounds. Too often, committees are lead by one or two individuals.
The MAP engages the entire committee, in the end, making them more effective. The MAP keeps focus.
Committees will be focused on their monthly activities and are more likely to divert concerns that can

Safety Strategies…for LIFE!
14. SMS-Powerful Information for a RESULTS driven safety culture! 14
be handled outside of the committee to the proper parties. You can’t hit a target you can’t see but with
this plan you’ve defined your targets and your arrows, it’s a win/win.
The MAP is HESA or High Energy Safety Awareness. ‘Reaction’ and ‘creation’ have the same eight letters.
When you react you respond in the same fashion in which you have always responded. Yet when you
create, you think before you act. Maintaining HESA makes our workers think, thus creating safe
situations instead of reacting to old habits.
The MAP communicates to the work group. When the committee is being reactive, the work group
often doesn’t even know they exist because the committee is contributing nothing to safety. When
following the MAP framework there will be no doubt the committee is out-in-front and that workers are
actively supporting the safety of their peers.
The MAP changes behaviors in a ‘safer’ direction. Since the monthly themes are picked based on a high
number of incidents in a certain area, past injuries or weak safety habits, these monthly activities
continue to encourage safe behavior, challenging and changing at-risk behavior.
Driving Home Safe…
Have you ever wondered why the white strip is painted on either edge of a narrow two-lane highway?
Well, when oncoming headlights, fog, snow or rain blind a driver, all he needs to do is find and focus on
the white line. If the driver doesn’t have a focus, he can easily lose control and drive off of the road. If he
focuses on the yellow centerline, he can easily cross that line into on coming traffic. Although visibility is
poor and the driver can’t see ahead, he knows that continued long-term focus on the white line will get
him to his destination safely.
The Safety Committee MAP (Monthly Action Plan) is our ‘saving’ white strip. Open the MAP and drive
knowing that you are changing your safety culture, one MAP at a time.
