Elevator Radio Show PodcastElevator Radio Show 541 - 6/17/2020 - Elevators are NOT Covid-19 Death TrapsI’d have to say that the only good thing to have come out of the Covid-19 and the shut downs is that I believe, based on the lack of internet articles, the number of elevator and escalator accidents has decreased. That is up until this week. There were two worker/construction related which requires a reality check about the dangers involved with the work we do each day. We cannot ever lose sight of this!2020-06-1723 min

Today’s show has nothing to do with elevators or escalators. My heart hurts and is angry for many reasons. Many of which don’t really make sense to me. I do my best to convey these on the program today but realize I’ll most likely offend some people or whatever I try to say might easily be taken out of context.

I find myself feeling like it is ground hog day every day I roll out of bed. I am very thankful that our company is open during this time, our employees able to work but it’s getting more difficult as this goes on.

We have the “freedoms” we hold so close to our hearts today because of them. Please take a moment to think of a loved one, a friend you might have lost while they were serving our country during war or peacetime.

This week’s show has a lot of article links which talk about elevators, the coronavirus as they relate and other pieces from experts or should I say columnists who share advice that should be common sense. When did we lose our ability to apply common sense to situations which affect our health and well-being?

Continue to keep you and your family safe by washing your hands and sanitizing commonly touched work areas and make sure not to touch your eyes, ears or mouth unless your hands are clean.

In the years I’ve been creating this podcast, never have any of them truly attempted to address or get to the bottom of the reason why. My question to you I-Team, reporter….look deeper into the numbers. Find out the budget for the elevator inspection department, the number of inspectors the department has and the number of elevators that require inspections annually. Go a step further and ask how long an inspection should take on average and plug tho...2019-05-1500 min

Elevator Radio Show PodcastThe Elevator Radio Show - Canadian Supreme Court Hears Escalator CaseToday’s program has a little bit of everything.

After reading and sharing one listed below, I got to thinking about the question of whether there were other recalls out there as they related that I hadn’t seen and decided to do some quick digging. What I found was a little concerning.

We’re talking about liability, safety and at what point is it okay to fire a customer or lockout/tag out an elevator when you deem it to be unsafe or when elevator/building owners choose to ignore recommendations for upgrades/improvements and simply just want to spend as little money as possible on getting them back running again. ...2019-02-2700 min

How dangerous is it working on or around this type of equipment? You may have had an idea before, but the numbers will confirm what many of us already knew, it’s dangerous.

Elevator Radio Show PodcastThe Elevator Radio Show #510 - Floods and Elevators Don't MixThe two topics I want to touch on today involve flooding elevators as well as watching your kids when out in the world. I’m not talking about keeping them on a physical leash or anything but one accident involving a 3 year old and an escalator could have been prevented had she been watched more closely. Flooding elevators is a much more serious concern than originally thought as the power of water when it arrives too quickly can cause a serious life threatening situation.

Elevator Radio Show PodcastElevator Radio Show #507 - Why so many accidents?This is the kind of show I truly wish I didn’t have to do. One filled with accident after accident. What ties closely with the idea that Bob Shepherd shared in the May issue of the Progress he was nice enough to let me re-post on June 9th but it really gets you thinking beyond the safety and toolbox talks. Read the article and think about how you can go beyond just “talking” about safety but actually living it. I’ll share more on this in my commentary during the show.2018-06-1300 min

So what’s the moral of the story? When you’re a cheap ass slumlord with no intention of investing in your buildings there’s a good chance someone is going to get hurt or worse lose their life.
