Rosendin
Electric and Safe Kids Collaborate on San Jose Event to Promote Car
Seat Safety for Silicon Valley Children.
San
Jose, CA, USA (July 18, 2014) -- Rosendin
Electric, the nation's largest private electrical
contractor and an employee-owned company, is sponsoring a free child
car seat safety fitting and inspection with Safe Kids
(http://www.safekids.org/coalition/safe-kids-california),
the global organization dedicated to promoting children's safety. The
car seat inspection is scheduled to take place at the Kohl's parking
lot at 2323 McKee Road, San Jose, August 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m.
Statistics
show that a correctly installed car seat can prevent injury or death
to a child in 73 percent of automobile accidents; however, four out
of every five child car seats are improperly installed. Safe Kids is
committed to promoting child safety around the world, including
organizing safety fitting and inspection events for parents.
Members
of the California Highway Patrol, as well as the Santa Clara County
Public Health Department, will be on hand for the August event to
conduct inspections and demonstrate the proper use of car seats.
Replacement seats will be provided, when appropriate, at no charge,
while supplies last. The safety fitting and inspection is open to
anyone who wants to ensure their car seats are installed correctly.
"We
are delighted to be able to help Safe Kids fund and organize this
safety inspection for parents," said Aaron Muffi, Safety Manager
at Rosendin Electric. "With financial help from Aldridge
Electric and Bay Tool and Supply we were able to purchase new car
seats, tents, and coolers for the event. Rosendin Electric has
received national and local recognition for our on-the-job and
at-the-office Safety Program, so this is a great way to carry our
message to the community and help save children's lives at the same
time."
This
is the second time that Rosendin Electric has sponsored with Safe
Kids. Last October Rosendin Electric worked with Safe Kids to sponsor
a similar event where they were able to help 53 families, including
inspecting child car seats and replacing 23 faulty seats.
