Who am I?

Hi.
I am a father who has started back to college after 15 years in Arkansas on four ambulance services and as a construction worker/contractor. I am currently employed by Global Safe Technologies as an intern through the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. As a college student I have the wonderful opportunity to write about this company and their products/services. I am enjoying working for this company because I believe the owners are providing needed products/services.
Working in both the construction and medical settings I have seen various cases where a slippery floor has cause serious injury. We all know that accidents happen, but if you could reduce that chance by over 90%, why wouldn't you? As an Emergency Medical Technician, I went inside several fast food restaurants that had floors that were almost impossible to walk on. One manager said, "Don't pick up your feet just slide them along." This is just one of the experiences I can recall from a medical run where a woman fell while refilling the salad bar at the local lunch stop.
After retiring from the emergency medical field, I continued to see preventable accidents occur from slippery surfaces. I can recall one accident when I was working in the lumber yard. It happen to a man who had the job of climbing to the top of a stacker and with a stick that had a hook on the end, pulling the lumber that was stuck so it would fall into the bid. He climbed an old metal ladder. It did have the holes punched through from the bottom side so the top would grip good, but over the years of climbing up and down, the runs were worn. On the day of his injury, rain was dripping through the holes in the tin, running down the ladder. The man was flown to the hospital.


I am a writer expressing my life experiences in relation to the products and services of Global Safe Technologies.
