Whenever
I hear of a fatality in our trade it hits home hard because I am in a position
where I would be getting the phone call and handling something like this if it
ever where to happen at our company. Everyone I work with I know well and care
about.
The
summary of the fatality is a elevator constructor in Columbus, Ohio didn’t come home
Wednesday, April 18th after an elevator that was being constructed
came down on him.
I
was sitting at a lunch meeting at the NAEC spring conference with another
independent contractor who has a branch in Columbus Ohio and he showed me a
text about this that he had just received. It was eerie.
This
was a tragic event and I encourage everyone to take some time and ponder all
the times we had close calls or did something we should not have been
doing. I’m linking a fundraiser page for
the elevator constructor’s family. I
donated, you should too. This was a
young guy with a family.

Take away - Take some time to
talk about safety within your company and learn from events that occur. IUEC formed a safety committee that discussed
accidents in our local, make some time to go [I need to follow my own advice].
