Please do not allow your children to ride escalators alone! Visit www.eesf.org for more information and a better understanding on how safely to ride escalators, elevators and moving walkways.
It's catch up week after postponing last week’s show. Unfortunately I have too many articles that involve accidents to share, three tragic which could have been prevented. In addition I’ll share a scary story regarding a friend/mechanic who was involved in an accident last year in while in the field. Just as a reminder if you need your QEI certification renewed you need to get on that quick! For more information visit NAESAi.org.
