ELEVATORS

This program assures the safety of elevators located in public buildings by requiring registration and safety inspections of existing and proposed new installations of elevators, and licensing of both inspectors and people who install and maintain elevators and lifts. The program only covers conveyances that move people vertically, not conveyances that move people horizontally.

The elevator program is to be administered by an Elevator Safety Review Board, composed of five members: The Commissioner of Public Safety, and four other members appointed by the Governor, including representatives from a major elevator manufacturer and from an elevator service company, an owner of a multistoried building in which there is an elevator, and a person who installs and repairs elevators.
