Dang, I Missed National Elevator-Escalator Safety Week
Just when you heard of every useless governmental program that sucks the living marrow out of our tax dollars, we found a new one. The National Elevator-Escalator Safety Week was this past November. And you want to know what is worse? IT HAS A #$%#$% MASCOT, ol’ Safe-T Rider him (her) self.
Go to their website. They have information for children and ADULTS. If you need it, there is a 32 page pamphlet on elevator and escalator safety so you too can be a elevator safety facilitator. And if you are really interested, you too can attend their regional seminar in Washington. Children have a web site. You can paint in it.
Safe-T Rider Celebrates Elevator- Escalator Safety Week On November 13, 2006, the Department of Buildings kicked off the Third Annual Elevator- Escalator Safety Week, a week-long event encouraging grade school students to use safe practices when riding one of New York City’s 63,000 elevators or escalators. Safe-T Rider, the mascot for the event, educated the students with tips on safe riding, such as: never attempting to enter or exit an elevator while the doors are closing and moving quickly away from escalators exit areas. After a short presentation, Safe-T Rider also handed out coloring books, testing sheets and certificates to the students. via SuperBlogger.
