Ever have a week where you had a million things to do and knew that there just werenât enough hours in the day? This always happens when Iâm covering for people at work.

Next week is the Elevator U Conference in Quincy, IL and it's going to be great! Iâm looking forward to seeing many of you at that event.

As I balance my allergy medicine and coffee intake I do my best to get through this weeks show but struggle a bit. Unfortunately some very sad news as an elevator mechanic is struck by an elevator and killed in Florida. It seems that there are multiple accidents in the news which involve kids and adults. In addition to these stories you'll get to hear me rant a bit on a Illinois Senate Bill extending the time that elevators are required to comply with code. Our legislators are under the impression this extension has the full support of the Illinois elevator community, which is not true. Thanks for joining us today on the show everyone, be safe out there!

Not as much news on the show today as I thought there would be. One elevator related death which involved a blind person and a non functioning door interlock apparently. Iâm sure that weâll learn more about this accident as the investigation continues. Other than news Iâll be covering the calendar of events. There are some great marketing opportunities out there and if youâre cutting your advertising or marketing dollars down because of the economy please reconsider. Thomas Jefferson once said, âThe man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time!â

We're giving away $100 everyone, plus some great goodies from the companies listed below. This is our way of way of saying thanks for listening each week! I cover more international accidents on this week's show that I think I did all last year. There are also a couple of articles specifically addressing accountability for building access and ADA. I think we are going to see a new trend of lawsuits against cities, companies and building owners if elevators are not meeting the needs of those with disabilities. There's also a cool picture you don't want to miss. Here's a hint, it involves a Porsche and an elevator!

Thanks to the following companies who have donated goodies to the prize pack giveaway. Fujitec America, GAL, The National Association of Elevator Contractors, The National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities, The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, COMPANY SRL, Peelle, C.J. Anderson, Truxes, EMS Group, Elevator Bob's Elevator Pictures, Minnesota Elevator, Inc, The ElevatorNetwork, Elevator Gear & The Elevator Shack Forums.

This is a great interview and I appreciate them taking the time to stop in! If you're not already a member of the NAEC I encourage you to join. In addition to the great networking opportunities there's a very good chance you'll pay for your membership with the savings from some of the business programs that are offered.

I hope you all enjoyed St. Patrick's Day! Some of you I am sure perhaps enjoyed it a little too much. Here in Chicago it was a warm 70 degrees which uplifted the spirits a bit. We've got another full show everyone, a couple of very important stories to talk about as another person loses his life in an elevator accident. When others who are not trained to work on elevators and escalators try to fix them, the chance death is very likely. Do we need to place big yellow warning sticker on every elevator door with graph photos of people dying in order to get this point across. Someone's going to be in big trouble after OSHA and the state get through with their investigation.

Sometimes I tell my wife, wow, we've been married for 12 years and it feels like a lifetime....but in a good way! You got to throw that last comment in or else you're screwed! It's been a lot of fun putting the show together and I appreciate all of your support! With 53,648 downloads total over the last 150 shows I'm humbled by it all....I still think that no one is listening! I trick myself into thinking this so I don't have a panic attack every Wednesday.

On the show today I'll provide an update on the EESF Meeting that I attended last week and cover the news that I've found online this week. As always, thanks for tuning in to the show this week!

Weâll see how much news there is and whether or not I can get the show produced Tuesday morning or before I head out to Atlanta that night. Some great comments on the show today and some that even like the shorter show format. Have a safe week everyone!

I just learned that Charlie Dolan, founder of Atlas Elevator, passed away on February 15^th. I remember dropping an order off at Atlas one day only to find Charlie working hard at his drafting table. Atlas for a while had three generations all working together which to me was quite an accomplishment. I invite all of you to sign his guest book by clicking here. I found some really good articles this week that I'll be sharing on the program. The one that was blogged about the most was the bankruptcy of Muzak. I'm honestly not sure why it didn't happen sooner. Another great article involves the TSSA and the liability and responsibility they have in making sure elevators and escalators are safe. Don't miss next week's show, another prize pack giveaway, which is going to be a cab commander from the Duluth Trading Company. Get your name on the e-mail list to be eligible to win.

I almost did the show on my patio last night it was so nice out, 58 Degrees! All the snow is pretty much gone and I'm ready for spring and I'm sure many of you are too. It's too bad it won't last; cold weather is already forecasted to return this weekend. Another busy week with news, thanks for tuning in to the program today everyone.

Great show today, lots of interesting stories that I found from all over the world. We've also got some great e-mails and commentaries too. Please welcome retired Elevator Mechanic Jim from Northern California who has started his own blog where he shares some great stories from his time in the trade. I forgot to talk about it on the show today and wanted to make sure you all check it out. The link is in the fun elevator stuff column on the website and can also be seen by clicking here. Only six more weeks of winter so the Groundhog says. Wouldn't that be nice! Have a great rest of the week everyone and be safe!

There are two really good articles worthy of printing out this week. One involves the OSHA findings in an elevator technician's death and the other talks about a lawsuit in which only the owner of the elevators was sued and no one else. I'll share my comments about it during the show and invite you to share yours as well. We're also going to be giving away a Maxtor external backup drive compliments of ElevatorBob.com.

It's great to be back everyone after yet another week off. What a week it's been, a total SNAFU when it came to electronics here in my life last week, I'll share more about it on the show. With the inauguration of President Obama yesterday, let's hope that our government officials work together to tackle the tough issues that we face as a nation and globally.

In any case, we do have a packed show today. Next week we're giving away a Maxtor back up drive so you too don't experience the same nightmare that I went through. Sign up for the e-newsletter to become eligible to win! (Pictured: Have an extra $23.5 laying around? A glass elevator in the middle of the building showcases this home)

The first show of 2009 everyone and it's going to be a good one. I hope everyone has recuperated from the holidays. I could use a vacation, preferably some where warm. We're just over ten days into winter at it seems like it's going to be a long one. Those of you in warmer climates, enjoy your above freezing temperatures! Today we'll chat a bit about the calendar of events through out the country and talk about a great educational opportunity that's happening right here in Chicago on February 5th!

Happy New Year everyone! I think this might be a first, doing a show on New Years Eve or morning I should say. What a year it's been. I realize that with the economy tanking the way it is many of you are hurting right now. Part of my 2009 show goals including bringing a couple of stories a week on how you and your family can save some money each week. I've added a news feed that specifically looks for these kinds of articles. We will continue to be here for you and plan on providing the monthly prize pack giveaways as well. Today's is a digital video recorder, compliments of ElevatorGear.com.

Have a safe and happy New Years celebration tonight everyone.

It's good to be back after a week off from the show. It's starting to look a lot like Christmas as the US get's hit with some pretty bad weather, ice storms, snow and rain. It's not even winter yet! We've got a good show for you today and I've got lots of energy. As we head into the last weekend before the holiday try not to get bogged down with holiday humbug. Take a moment and give thanks for all that you have no matter how little it might be. Enjoy the holidays with some good food, drink and family.

No show next week as it's Christmas Eve but we will be back on the following week. The last day of the year! We'll give away our last prize pack giveaway for 2008 which is going to be a Flip Video Recorder. Have a nice holiday everyone.

Back in the studio for the show today and I'm excited to have a nice long weekend with my family. There is quite an array of articles/blog posts on the show today including a horrific escalator accident that involved a child in India. I think Elevator and Escalator Safety needs to be promoted more in this country, especially now that their vertical transportation is growing. Also on the program today our famous prize pack giveaway which is a $100 Visa Card! I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving. If you're traveling, be safe. We'll be back at you next Wednesday!

Thanks to the following companies who have donated goodies to the prize pack giveaway.

The show is a little early which is a treat for me. I get to sleep in a little tomorrow. Some great links on the show today; including a couple of interesting ones on the space elevator, one that involves an elevator accident that allegedly human weights were used to test the elevator and a couple of funny elevator blog posts. Don't forget about the online auction over on Elevator.Gear.com Dec. 1-5. Get some great exposure for your company for the small price of a donated gift! Those of you headed to friends and family, have safe travels and enjoy Thanksgiving. I don't think that there's ever been a more appropriate time to be thankful for friends, family and our industry.

On this weeks program escalators seemed to dominate the news when it came to accidents plus the Space Elevator seems to be getting more traction with Japan investing 8 billion into developing a program that they hope will be successful. Other stories include another New York Times article which talks more about the New York City Housing Authority elevators again which is worthy of a read plus many more goodies in the show. Thanks for the e-mails everyone, especially the ones which talked about our economy and being as optimistic about it as possible. Another included a funny YouTube video which I've linked below of a comedian Dane Cook who does a short skit on a situation he ran into while riding in an elevator. Also Elevator Escalator Safety Week is fast approaching click here to find out how easy it is to participate! Talk to you next week everyone! Enjoy the show.

Wow, it's hard to believe that it's already October already. Fall is just starting and hopefully in your neck of the woods you're able to get out and actually enjoy it. There are some very important articles coming from the New York Times this week that you should print out. I'm going to put them in Bold. We cover the calendar of events and skip ElevatorGear.com stuff today due to time constraints. Thanks for listening every one! (Pictured is yours truly in my new cool One Stop elevator shirt!

I had a great time at the NAEC convention last week. It was nice to see everyone who attended! Special thanks to the NAEC for putting on such a first class event. It was a really busy week with meetings, setup, exhibiting and tear down but one that makes me appreciate everything that goes into it each year. It also gives me the chance to get out of the day to day stuff at work and helps me realize what a great bunch of people I work with each day. There are lots of articles to talk about today and next week as I'm one week behind. Thanks for tuning in!

Well, after many e-mails last week regarding the fact that I simply forgot about the prize pack giveaway I apologize! I'm not sure what I was thinking but I swear I thought I had another few days in August left. So I'm making it up this week with a $100 Visa gift card and some great items donated by the following awesome companies. Not that many stories on the Internet this week as next week is the NAEC Annual Convention in Grapevine TX! Everyone headed to the show, have safe travels. Next week there may not be a show depending on the Internet service. Our friend from the UK, David Cooper was nice enough to share a very interesting article regarding a very old Hydraulic (water) Elevator he was asked to consult on. The link to it will be in the show notes. So much to cover so little time!

Thanks to the following companies who support the Elevator Radio Show and have donated items for the prize pack giveaway!

We've got a good show for you everyone. More stories on the five year old that fell down the hoistway in New York as the DA is launching an investigation into the accident to determine if there was any wrong doing by anyone. I think that this might be the first incident where a District Attorney has gotten involved...at least it's the first time that I've heard of it. Some other interesting news stories to talk about as the week was packed with some good ones. One of which was that the coward that attacked that elderly women last week was caught, thanks to the video taken in the elevator. Have a great week everyone thanks for tuning in everyone.

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! (Pictured Right shows the obsudity of the Olympic Logo Police as they put masking tape over every logo they can find that is not an official sponsor of the games)

We've got a shorter show for you today everyone. There were two tragic elevator accidents this past week that help remind me how dangerous being an elevator mechanic is. Start every day with your safety the number one priority on your mind. I'm not sure where summer went but I'll be headed to the Northwoods of Wisconsin next week with my family. It's been a while since I had a week off and am really looking forward to it. Next week there won't be a show so if you miss me like I'll miss you browse through some of our older shows, check out show number one and see how far we've come. Thanks for tuning in everyone!

Some great news from the Crocs Corporation! 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.

Thanks to the following companies who support the Elevator Radio Show and have donated items for the prize pack giveaway! Fujitec America, GAL, The National Association of Elevator Contractors, The National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities, The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, COMPANY SRL, Peelle, C.J.

Weâve got some really interesting articles to talk about on the show today plus many of which include my two cents which sometimes is more entertaining than the article itself. Weâre light on the news today which is a relief, not as many accident/injuries as last weeks show thank goodness. Make sure you check out the calendar of events as there are events coming up. If you donât have the time just tune into the show and Iâll cover the important ones. Talk to you next week everyone!

I hope everyone here had a nice three day weekend and Fourth of July! We had great weather here in Chicago and the extra day was just great! I actually had little time on Sunday to go to the library, check some books out and read them in the back yard while enjoying on a beer. Now life doesn't get much better than that. Another action packed show today everyone as we cover more accidents relating to elevators and what I hope is the end of them for a while. Oh by the way our e-mail broadcast service seems to be on the fritz. Fifteen e-mails later Godaddy is still working on the problem. As a rule you should check out our website every Wednesday so that you don't miss a show or the important show/story links. .

Thanks to David Cooper who has given me permission to link his research article on our website. Click the link to read his research paper which investigated accidents involving luggage trolleys/carts and/or shopping carts on escalators.

We will be skipping over Elevator News on the show today. Instead I share with you my interview with David Cooper, from LECS, UK. I spoke with David a week and a half ago regarding his escalator accidents research report, The Lift Academy, The University of Northampton and the Lift & Escalator Industry Charity. David presented his Escalator Accident paper at the NAVTP Conference in May and had some important information to share. It was also nice to hear about the other endeavors he's been involved with too. Next week I'll be attending the Elevator U Conference which will be held in Arizona. I'm looking forward to that and will do my best to kick a show out from the road. Thanks for joining us today everyone. Enjoy the rest of the week!

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.)

This weekend the weather was awesome! My neck is sunburn and I'm still sore from all the activities we did. 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. Everyone enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for tuning in to the show! (Pictured: A report is out on the Metro s Elevator and Escalators. The story linked below in the news links.

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.
