Elevator Radio Show 541 - 6/17/2020 - Elevators are NOT Covid-19 Death Traps

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 • Duration 23:15

I’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!

Elevator Radio Show – 540 – Week 6/3/2020 – From My Heart

Wednesday, June 3, 2020 • Duration 21:38

It’s been a tough week in and around the City of Chicago. 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’m not looking for a fight, I’m simply looking for the looting and destruction to end. To my friends, family who are first responders, I support you. I am by your side, you are not alone. Be safe out there and look out for your loved ones.

The Elevator Radio Show - Covid-19 & Elevators

Wednesday, April 1, 2020 • Duration

The equipment has been dusted off, powered back on and I’m back. Today’s show, after taking eleven months off, comes full circle with the feeling and inspiration I felt when I recorded the first Elevator Radio Show podcast back in December 2005. I have so many of you to thank for this. I’ll be sharing the perspective from a company that manufactures elevator equipment on the steps we’ve taken along with just my thoughts on this entire pandemic. The goal here is to provide all of you, a place to come each week as we all do our best to get through this cluster. I care deeply for our industry, all who work in it and the safety of people who touch it every day. This virus is going to shift the way human beings interact forever as well as our industry. Please be careful as you venture out into the world and practice the steps outlined by the CDC to keep yourself healthy. Wash hands as often as you can with soap and water for 20 mins. Don’t touch any of your body openings with your hands. The virus must enter your body somewhere for you to become sick, don’t roll out the red carpet for it.

Thought for today’s show: Anger is the last bastion of the powerless.

The Elevator Radio Show - #531 - Why are there so many expired elevator inspection certificates?

Wednesday, May 15, 2019 • Duration

This is the first show I’ve done where there were more than one “I-Team” type investigative report on expired elevator certificates. 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 those numbers into a spreadsheet. After you’ve done this ask whether or not the funding allocated, the number of inspectors employed and the number of elevators, escalators, moving walkways and dumbwaiters that require inspections annually can be done based on the time and number of inspectors there are to do it. Do the numbers confirm that there’s adequate funding and employed inspectors to complete the number of inspections that are required each year?

Show Notes:

Person falls down elevator shaft in NY

More than 1,600 elevators in Philly have expired certs.

Another I-Team investigative report: Boston

This time it’s Los Angeles

Repairmen burned in Palo Alto shaft fire

TKE abandons plan to split in two

The Elevator Radio Show - Canadian Supreme Court Hears Escalator Case

Wednesday, April 17, 2019 • Duration

Today’s program has a little bit of everything. What surprised me was the number of accidents reported as they related to the general riding public and/or workers that use elevators for work. Many of which had me simply scratching my head wondering the true cause for each of them. In addition, I’ll cover the upcoming calendar of events and share my hopes that Spring will soon be here.

Show Notes:

DC firefighters hoist students out of elevator at Kennedy Center

Elevators undergo $1M in renovations

The Elevator Radio Show - I'm no expert but plastic keepers used on residential door interlocks?

Wednesday, April 3, 2019 • Duration

This is one of those shows where one unexpected article link, had me thinking about recalls and elevators and escalators as they related to the CPSC. 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. I need to fully disclose my day job involves many things but manufacturing and selling door interlocks and mechanical door switches for freight/passenger elevators. We are not, however a player in the residential elevator market. Also, I’m not an expert when it comes to residential elevators nor anything for tha matter so take what I say with a grain of salt. With all of this out of the way I ask one simple question on the show today which is a good one.

Show Notes:

Cambridge Elevating recalls home elevators due to fall hazard

Other recalls affecting “elevator” equipment

Plastic Residential Door Latches?

Residential Elevator Safety Meeting Planned

3-month elevator battle at plaza prompts action by tenants

The Elevator Radio Show - What's a Riot Elevator Button Do?

Wednesday, March 27, 2019 • Duration

I was hoping it would be a show without covering any accidents, but this week is not the week to be. In addition, you can ask your coworkers if they know what a “RIOT” button does in an elevator. In Sacrament someone thought it would be a good idea to add them to some of their governmental elevators. It’s also our Prize Pack Giveaway show which is my favorite of the month. Special thanks to Colley Elevator and Codedataplate.com for providing $25 gift cards for it. Work safe out there.

The Elevator Radio Show - Girl Falls Down Elevator Shaft and Lives to Tell About It

Wednesday, March 20, 2019 • Duration

We’ve got a good show for you today. There are at least three articles that should be the talk around the office cooler, weekly safety toolbox talks or any other opportunity you have to chat with your coworkers about. In the end each all come down to safety. And on a non-elevator related note it’s the first day of Spring today for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Let’s hope Mother Nature is done sending snow and cold our way.

The Elevator Radio Show - Mechanic in ND Fatally Injured

Wednesday, March 13, 2019 • Duration

I was truly moved at the number of you who emailed me the news regarding the fatality in ND. While an investigation it still pending initial reports indicate he was electrocuted while servicing an escalator. Every time I read one of these articles my heart sinks and I feel like my words fall on deaf ears. Your emails, sharing the news of this tragedy, helped me realize that safety is a priority to so many of you which I find a small amount of comfort in. Keep Josh Bosch, his family especially his wife and two daughters in your thoughts and prayers.

The Elevator Radio Show #524 - Forklift vs. Elevator - Elevator Wins

Wednesday, March 6, 2019 • Duration

There’s a wide variety of article links shared on today's show. The first one pounds home the concern for safety in the job site as it relates not to construction or maintenance of buildings but in other services like demolition and wrecking. It’s a terrible accident and reminder of just how fragile life is and how it can change in an instant.
