National Elevator Escalator Safety Awareness Week Celebration

摘要

To reach the riding public prior to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, when there is an increased use of elevators and escalators by parents and children, the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation (EESF) selected the second full week in November as National Elevator Escalator Safety Awareness Week. In 2002, this fell on November 11-16. The first Safety Week was celebrated in 1994 with the following participants: the states of Colorado, Connecticut and Kentucky, the Metro Dade Transit Agency in Miami, the Elevator Conference of New York (ECNY), Schindler in New Jersey, the Boy Scouts in Atlanta, Fujitec in Lebanon, Ohio, Millar and the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority in Boston, and Galleria Mall in Buffalo, New York. There was an array of scheduled celebrations in 2002 that varied from handing out material in the subway systems to Internet website links.
