No Show - 2/15/17

I'm currently attending the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation yearly Annual General Meeting in Mobile, AL. The talent on our board of directors always impresses me. I'll have a complete update on where the EESF has been and the plan for the foundation in the upcoming year on next weeks program. I'm excited and look forward to listening to ideas, comments on how to eliminate preventable accidents on elevators, escalators and moving walkways due to rider behavior.

Elevator Radio Show 458 - Week 02/8/17

http://www.eesf.org/home-elevator-safety

I wish I never had to cover another story again that involved a child being killed by a home elevator.  If you have a home elevator please click here for information on how to help ensure that it’s safe.  As a parent I can’t imagine living through anything like this and our hearts and prayers go out to the family. Next week The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation meets in Mobile, AL for their Annual General Meeting and as a board hope to do everything possible to prevent accidents like this from happening in the future. No show next week as I’ll be attending the meeting.

Elevator Radio Show - Video/Audio Show #385 - Week 01/07/15

Audio File Link: Elevator Radio Show - Video/Audio Show #385 - Week 01/07/15 Happy New Year! Unfortunately we’re starting 2015 on a sad note with the recent news of a 12 year old who was killed when he entered the shaft of a home elevator in Florida and was crushed to death. It’s truly frightening to imagine that his could even happen. It’s a tragic death which requires everyone's help in spreading the word regarding riding elevators and escalators safely and that they are neither toys, nor amusement rides. And while the details of the accident have not been released we encourage anyone with a home elevator to get it checked out by your local elevator company to ensure that it’s safe and the distance between the hallway doors and gate is minimized to prevent any child from accidentally getting wedged between the door and gate when the hallway door is closed. Visit http://homesafecampaign.com/ as well as http://www.eesf.org for more information regarding elevator and escalator safety.
