I was serious whenever I’ve stated on the show that when traveling outside the US and Canada to think twice about using elevators and escalators. The lead horrific story on today's show is the reason why. This week has too many articles that relate to accidents and I hope that you share them with those you work with. Use them as learning tools, pick an article, see what might have been done differently, speculate on what might have happened and how to prevent it from happening the future. Today's show theme; Use the articles as tools for accident prevention both for workers and for the general riding public.
