Problems existing in elevator safety management

Lead: At present, with the development of economy and the increasing shortage of urban land, more and more high-rise buildings begin to appear in people's daily life, which is followed by the increasing demand and usage of elevators by residents. The safe operation of elevator is directly related to the life safety of passengers, and elevator safety management is of great significance. This paper analyzes the problems existing in elevator safety management in China at this stage, and puts forward some constructive improvement strategies.

Problems in elevator safety management At this stage, elevators have become an indispensable means of transportation for urban residents, bringing unprecedented convenience to people's lives. However, the frequent elevator accidents in recent years have made people question the safety and reliability of elevators. The safety of elevators directly affects people's quality of life and safety, so they are widely concerned by the government and the media. This paper mainly discusses the problems existing in the normal use, inspection and other safety management after the elevator is installed and delivered and passed the safety acceptance of relevant departments, and the solutions.

First, the elevator safety management problems

At present, the annual growth rate of elevator production and ownership in China ranks first in the world. Although the elevator safety accidents have decreased and the safety situation has improved due to the efforts and attention from all walks of life, there are still some hidden dangers and problems that need to be solved urgently.

(1) illegal business operation

Statistics show that in recent years, illegal operation accounts for 62.5% of elevator safety accidents, ranking first among similar options such as equipment defects, accidents and illegal use of equipment, accounting for more than half of the total number of accidents. It can be seen that illegal operation is the primary problem that must be solved in elevator safety management, including illegal installation, such as the installer not wearing a helmet; Illegal maintenance, maintenance personnel short-circuit the safety loop, open the door and take the stairs, and do not set any safety warning signs during maintenance, which will cause safety hazards to themselves and others; Illegal rescue, when someone is found to need rescue, he rashly rescues without relevant professional knowledge, violating the rescue procedure and not using the triangle key correctly.

(B) quality maintenance does not pass.

With the increase in the number of elevators, maintenance companies and elevator manufacturers have realized the huge profits in the elevator maintenance market. In order to compete for this cake, many enterprises began to adopt the competitive strategy of reducing prices. However, if the cost of maintenance is too low, the quality of maintenance will inevitably decline, and even there may be failures or going through the motions during maintenance, which will cause great hidden dangers to elevator safety. Elevator itself belongs to fixed lifting equipment, which will cause wear and tear if it is used continuously. Therefore, regular professional maintenance is needed to correct the problem and ensure the normal operation of the elevator. Failure of maintenance units to do routine maintenance or irresponsible and irregular maintenance will cause elevator operation failure. In order to save costs and reduce expenses, some partially responsible properties can use and maintain some defective parts, which makes elevators run with diseases for a long time, and eventually small problems lead to big hidden dangers and accidents.

(3) The quality of managers needs to be improved.

Elevator is a kind of special equipment, which requires high professional quality of elevator managers. You need to be trained by the quality inspection department and obtain the relevant safety management certificate before you can take up your post, so as to better maintain and supervise the elevator. The elevator personnel in many units are undocumented, and even the elevator managers who have obtained the qualification certificate have a weak sense of responsibility. They didn't operate strictly according to the elevator safety management system, and they couldn't check the operation of each elevator seriously, which made many hidden dangers unable to be found and eliminated in time, threatening the safety of passengers.

Second, improve the strategy.

In order to ensure the safe operation of elevators, prevent elevator accidents and ensure the safety of people's lives, several improvement strategies are put forward in view of the above problems.

(a) establish and improve the safety management system, standardize the operation.

Scientific and feasible system is the basic premise to ensure the effective implementation of various safety management work, but the current elevator safety system in China still has some defects, such as rough formulation, insufficient detail and poor operability, and many contents need to be improved. Therefore, in addition to strictly implementing the provisions in the Regulations on Supervision of Special Equipment promulgated by the state, all units should also formulate relevant rules in light of their own actual conditions to make the system more practical and operable. Every step in the operation should be decomposed and specified in detail to avoid illegal operation. If any illegal operators are found, they should be punished and notified to warn other personnel.

(2) Improve the quality of employees and strengthen on-site supervision.

First of all, we should strengthen the qualification management of elevator management personnel, require operators to hold certificates, do a good job in pre-job safety education for those who have already taken up their posts, improve their professional skills, and at the same time, improve their safety awareness and sense of responsibility through case analysis and peacetime safety education. Secondly, managers should participate in the discussion and handling of elevator safety, so as to sum up experience, learn lessons, prevent similar incidents and standardize the quality of elevator employees. On-site supervisors can find equipment that does not meet the safety technical specifications through observation and inspection of the use links, and can adjust it in time. In elevator inspection, it is important to check whether it is used beyond the inspection period and whether it is registered or operated. Whether the certificate is expired or undocumented, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate a relatively perfect emergency plan and conduct emergency drills frequently to ensure that once an accident occurs, it can be effectively stopped or the loss can be minimized.

(3) Popularize safety knowledge to passengers.

Elevator, like cars, airplanes and other means of transportation, brings convenience to people, but it also has certain risks. People can reduce the risks through continuous improvement and correct use of elevators. As the main users of elevators, passengers need to correctly understand the risks and related safety knowledge of elevators. Through issuing safety manuals, warning signs, answering technical questions and other ways, let the public know the basic knowledge of elevators, and point out some mistakes and threatening behaviors in elevator use, such as knocking at the door when the elevator is running, kicking the door while waiting for the elevator, and constantly pressing the button. Through the popularization of this knowledge, more people can understand the elevator safety knowledge and use the elevator safely and safely.

Three. Concluding remarks

At present, there are still many problems in elevator safety management in China. Property departments, maintenance units, elevator safety management personnel and passengers need to realize the importance of elevator safety management, cooperate with each other, do a good job in elevator safety management, and let people enjoy the convenience brought by elevators more safely and safely.
