With the acceleration of urban modernization construction, the use of elevators is becoming increasingly widespread, and the safety performance of elevators is also receiving more and more attention from the people. However, the elevator maintenance market is still a seller's market and there are many problems.
Elevator users have weak safety awareness and inadequate understanding; The elevator maintenance unit meets the current situation, but the service is not up to standard; The quality of elevator operators is relatively low, and their skills are not up to par; The supervision of the safety supervision department is insufficient, and the measures are not in place. The existence of these problems has planted many safety hazards.
In response to the above issues, the Urban Branch of the Jincheng Quality Supervision Bureau in Shanxi Province has taken a series of regulatory measures to eliminate elevator safety hazards.
Improve ideological awareness and increase inspection efforts on elevator maintenance. The special equipment safety supervision department should learn from the painful lessons of serious elevator accidents in the past, fulfill its responsibilities effectively, increase the safety supervision of elevators, especially the supervision of the implementation of elevator maintenance systems. For elevator maintenance units that refuse to rectify, it is recommended that the higher-level certification department revoke their maintenance qualifications.
Introduce a competitive mechanism and establish and improve the archives of maintenance units. Advocate elevator manufacturers to establish offices in our district to directly maintain the elevators they manufacture and install, ensuring the quality of elevator maintenance. Establish and improve the archives of elevator maintenance units, and publish them to all elevator users, building a platform for mutual cooperation. In addition, relevant information of personnel with elevator maintenance qualifications will be archived for inspection and verification, completely blocking the loopholes of forged records.
Increase publicity efforts and guide the elevator maintenance market towards standardization. Increase publicity efforts for elevator users and maintenance units, so that they can maintain elevators in accordance with national laws and assume their respective safety responsibilities, consciously accept the supervision and management of local special equipment safety supervision departments, and promote the legalization and standardization of the local elevator maintenance market.
Intensify training efforts and regularly provide safety knowledge training to relevant personnel. Hire professional personnel from elevator manufacturers and elevator inspection and testing institutions, regularly conduct elevator professional knowledge learning and safety knowledge training for safety supervision personnel, installation, operation, management, and maintenance personnel in the jurisdiction, improve their safety awareness, and truly prevent accidents before they occur.
Establish a regular reporting system and seek support from relevant higher-level departments. Report the safety inspection of elevators every quarter and any difficulties encountered during work to the local government in a timely manner, and strive for government support; Actively leveraging the power of local news media, regularly disclosing the list of units with serious safety hazards within the jurisdiction to the public, forming a good atmosphere of joint management by the government, departments, and society.
