Elevator Safety
It is said by many that “the elevator industry has its ups and downs”. Hopefully, uneventful ups and downs. In its 2003 regular session, the State Legislature added Alabama to the growing list of states requiring an elevator safety inspection program to help assure just that.
Annual Inspections
The legislation (Act No. 2003-349) mandates all elevators other than those located in industrial facilities that are not accessed by the general public, be inspected annually and that inspections be made on elevators under construction to make sure they are properly installed and maintained. In addition to overseeing safety inspections, the Department is also required to keep accident reports and license persons who are engaged in construction, repair and dismantling of elevators.
