Immediately after receiving information from the Vietnam Elevator Association about the alarming situation of elevator unsafety at Den Lu Resettlement Area: Department of Labor Safety, Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs took action. !
People have to bend over to go under the building's water tank to go to the next unit to use elevator every time the elevator fails. Only 4 out of 26 elevators in an apartment complex pass the technical safety inspection, yet the elevators still operate every day. Pulley, wire ropes wear out beyond the allowable limit, the surface of the wire rope appears red rust, the test results are clear, but people have no choice but to accept and wait.
On the evening of November 19 in Hanoi, the Vietnam Elevator Association solemnly held the launching ceremony of the publication and website of Elevator Magazine. The program is sponsored by GamaLift and Gama Service. Attending the launching ceremony were Mr. Le Van Thanh - Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, Mr. Ho Quang Loi - Standing Vice Chairman of Vietnam Journalists Association, Mr. Nguyen Hai Duc - Chairman of Vietnam Elevator Association and representatives of many ministries, news agencies, press agencies of the central government and Hanoi.
Recognizing the importance of elevator safety in the installation, maintenance as well as rescue, Vietnam Elevator Association cooperates with Gama Service – High-end technical unit of GamaLift organizes an elevator safety certification training program from November 2021.
Elevators are essential means for homes and public places. However, there are still some people who consider the elevator to be their own space, behave and act rudely and impolitely, making those around them extremely uncomfortable.
