Change attitude to stay safe on escalators

THERE is an urgent need for building management entities and the companies which provide technical support to perform regular safety audits on all the escalators at their premises. They have to ensure that the escalators are safe, especially those which are heavily used on weekends or during school holidays.

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is concerned about the safety of the public after two mishaps involving moving walkways in the past few days.
