Little Things Matter In Safety
A little care and attention goes a long way in helping us and our loved ones stay safe when using lifts and escalators. That was the key message from KONE Corporation, during a webinar on Lift and Escalator Safety on 6 October 21, organized for residents in condominiums managed by CWL and CWL’s employees as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) outreach.
By being observant and acting sensibly as users of vertical transportation, personal injuries or accidents can be prevented. Here are some of the safety instructions shared by KONE for lift users:
