Stories From The Great ShakeOut

Wendy Meador
(Safety Coordinator - Tangram Interiors)

Our drill went very well. The receptionist sounded the alert and started the sound effects. Everyone sought cover under their worksurfaces and stayed put for the entire drill. Our observers brought back some great points for future drills. When getting under a desk with a rolling pedestal, do not put your head towards that pedestal as it could move and injure you. The warehouse had great response also, the men on forklifts immediately stopped their lifts and turned them off and waited it out on the forklift. Great job Tangram!
