Elevator Radio Show Podcast

It's great to be back from vacation everyone! After a week off in the Northwood's of Wisconsin I'm glad to be home. I'm a bit swamped as was to be expected and am glad that the numbers of stories online were low but the importance of some of them very high, two of which had tragic endings. The first involved a five year old and the second a construction worker. It makes me cringe just thinking about it. When you see unsafe elevators let someone know, especially the building owner! No client is worth the loss of a life. I don't care how cheap or how much work they promise to give you down the road Take a proactive step and identifying problems with elevators and notifying your customer about them. Document them and press them to make safety upgrades!

Last week they released a press release that they are launching an escalator safety awareness campaign. I'm confident that this step will help spread the word about escalator safety especially to the kids that wear their shoes. Anyone who would like to learn more about the safe practices of riding escalators and elevators please visit www.eesf.org today. Those who may be learning about the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation for the very first time please consider supporting them with a small donation. The bottom line is that the donations they receive help educate more children. We'll talk elevator and escalator news on the show today plus we'll be giving away a prize pack giveaway. Special thanks to the companies and associations shown below. They have all been huge supporters of the Elevator Radio Show which is greatly appreciated.

Click Here to download ERS-2008-05-07 #116 Back from the NAVTP Forum and had a great time. It was nice to see everyone out in San Francisco. All the presentations were really good. Each time I attend a conference like this I realize how much I don't know and how much I have to learn. One presentation given by David Cooper covered his escalator accident research data which included videos! These were unbelievable and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. We're going to see if we can coordinate a telephone interview for the show. If you saw these videos your jaw would drop. On some happier news The EESF Silent auction raised $3,000 which was great and everyone have a good time. If you're a consultant and aren't a member of the NAVTP you should consider joining. They are a great group of industry professionals. (Pictured Right: Casimer Cader, Passes Away At 83.)

It felt good to be outside sweating in the sun and with my family. I hope that the weather was just as nice in your neck of the woods. This was just the kind of weekend I was looking forward too after a tough week at work. Please consider doing this for me; the recent news of the passing of a good friend of mine has made me realize that we're all one big family. Please give someone a call who you haven't heard from in a while. It could be family or a colleague. Let them know that you're thinking about them and hope that they are doing well.

Click Here to download ERS-2008-04-02 #112 We've got a lot of news stories to talk about on todayâs show everyone. I received some very sad news on Monday as a good friend and colleague of mine Butch Notter passed away Sunday night. A guy I've worked with for the last 15 years Butch was a guy who taught me a lot and I will miss him. This makes me realize that we spend more time with our colleagues at work than we do with our family at home. It also opens my eyes to the fact that we are here for only a limited time and that we need to live life to the fullest each and every day.

Snow is once again falling here in Chicago and the kids and I are making the most of it by building forts, having snowball fights and sledding. I don't remember getting as many snow storms as we have since I was a kid. But I guess everything back then was larger than life. We do have some important news stories to talk about on the show including two important lawsuits and one elevator accident that ended up in a fatality. Plus the Crocs Corporation is back in the lime light! Plus there are a couple of good stories that feature elevator companies. And one aweful one down in Atlanta that will make you sick to watch it!

I hope you all enjoyed the little video I put out on Monday. Audio and video quality wasn't all that great but hopefully you got a little more behind the scenes look on what happens here every Wednesday. While light on news this week thereâs a very interesting story that happened down in Miami. This one shows just a little how tough our industry is from an inspectorâs and contractorâs point of view. An elevator in a condo is not working, the city came in and served six final inspection notices and the association still will not do anything. This kind of thing must happen a lot. Also on the show today a nice story on elevator mechanics, do you recognize these guys?
