A DEPARTMENT of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) investigation nationwide this year revealed that most victims who were involved in accidents while using escalators were children below the age of six.

Penang DOSH director Mohd Rosdee Yaacob said statistics also showed that the children were without adult supervision, when the accidents had happened.
