ATWEC Technologies National Child Safety Awareness Program Intensifies with Premier Safety Fair
MEMPHIS, Tenn. , Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ATWEC Technologies, Inc. (OTC Markets: ATWT), a leader in the child safety industry, continued its national child safety awareness campaign by hosting the first Safety Transportation Fair just outside of Atlanta last week.
The announcement comes in the wake of the US Department of Transportation releasing statistics that at least 23 deaths and an unknown number of serious injuries to children left unattended in hot vehicles this summer.
In a joint letter issued last month, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called on the nation's Head Start directors and child care providers to take advantage of the "Look Before You Lock" campaign.
"Safety is our top priority for everyone on our roadways, but we have a special responsibility to protect our most vulnerable passengers," said LaHood. "While parents and caregivers are the first line of defense, everyone has a role to play in preventing these needless tragedies."
"The DOT is just now telling people what we have known for years – children and vehicles can be extremely dangerous," said ATWEC President and CEO Alex Wiley . "The fact that the federal government is getting involved will be instrumental in helping us deliver our products to day care centers across the nation. Our Kiddie Voice™ system is designed to prevent any type of accident, and we continue to work hard to ensure that no child is ever left behind."
