Safe Travel for Elevator and Escalator Passengers

There are more than 70,000 #elevators & #escalators in #NYC. Decades of improved #technology have minimized the #risks so much that few people know it's dangerous to use these machines the wrong way. Learn important #safety tips from @NYC_Buildings here: nyc.gov/site/buildings…

🦺🦺🦺 "The world of #worker #safety is redefining head protection as it makes the shift from traditional #hardhats to comprehensive safety #helmets in #construction." Check out this interesting piece from @OCCHealthSafety: ohsonline.com/articles/2023/…

#Florida law requires newly installed or altered #elevators be given a certified #inspection before they can be used. 🛗🛗🛗 However, recent #audit shows agency failed to ensure #compliance with inspection requirements: flauditor.gov/pages/pdf_file…

Recent report finds #Florida agency failed to effectively monitor local #elevator #safety programs, which were established by authorized jurisdictions to ensure that #compliance requirements w/in the #ElevatorSafetyAct were met. More via @thecentersquare: bit.ly/3Mohzrq
