Launch of New Compliance Standards for Elevators and Escalators - March 1, 2023
TSSA's new Compliance Standards for the following elevating devices took effect on March 1, 2023:
- Hydraulic elevators
- Electric/traction elevators
- Escalators - Information for Owners and Operators
- Escalators - Information for Contractors
These new Compliance Standards — lists that identify high-risk non-compliances — have been designed to help device owners and operators better understand their safety priorities and identify items that, if not addressed immediately, may pose a high risk to public safety.
TSSA held two webinars — the first on January 25, 2023, and the second on February 21, 2023 — to provide owners, operators, property managers and contractors with a clear understanding of how the new Compliance Standards work, as well as TSSA’s expectations and required safety obligations.
Both webinars covered the following topics:
-
How Compliance Standards focused on high-risk items were developed
-
Items that will be examined during periodic inspections
-
Checklists that will be used by TSSA inspectors
-
The difference between high-risk, medium-risk and low-risk non-compliances
-
New inspection reports
-
The process that will be followed if a non-compliance is noted on a periodic inspection report
