Thank you @NYSA_Majority & @NYSenate - especially our bill sponsors @dianesavino & @MarcosCrespo85 - for your work to ensure the #ElevatorSafetyAct passed both houses this session! NY is on it's way towards being the safest elevator industry in the country!
This is the second serious elevator accident we have seen in NY within just a couple of weeks. Enough is enough. #PassElevatorSafetyAct https://t.co/evEXxy5LfW
Another tragic example of why NY needs #ElevatorSafety legislation ASAP. Having a trained and educated workforce can help prevent incidents like this from happening in the first place. Our condolences to the family of the deceased. #PassElevatorSafety
Did you know that over 30 states mandate education/training of elevator workforce, but NY (with over 10% of nations elevators) does not? The #ElevatorSafetyAct would change that and bring increased reliance and safety to elevators statewide

An extensive look into elevator safety issues in New York City today by @trdny. A must read that shines light on why we must pass the Elevator Safety Act this year in Albany. #SafeElevatorsIn2019 https://t.co/8wTOpfzrpv
ICYMI: IUEC Local 1 Business Manager Lenny Legotte wrote a LTE to @NYDailyNews highlighting the #ElevatorSafetyAct in light of charges filed against NYCHA staff for the 2015 death of Olegario Pabon due to an elevator accident https://t.co/amGNjKGbwO
In New York, anyone can install or maintain an elevator.
🚨 Dangerous stuff! 🚨
But this upcoming session, we can pass the Elevator Safety Act ✅ to:
➡️ set standards
➡️ require training
➡️ mandate licensing
➡️ stop bad contractors
➡️ save lives
