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.
Green growth and sustainable development have become the national policy of many countries. One of the leading solutions is to save energy. In that trend, elevator manufacturers are constantly improving and applying high technology to reduce electricity consumption in their products.
Regulations on Fire and Safety require that buildings must be equipped with fire elevators and rescue means. In each fire compartment of buildings with a height of >28m, an elevator shall be arranged to meet the requirements for transporting firefighters and means (as specified in Section 5.14 QCVN 06:2010/BXD).
