EMSD releases lift and escalator contractors' latest performance ratings

************************************************************************

     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (October 19) announced the performance ratings of the registered lift and escalator contractors for the past 12 months (from October 2022 to September 2023) for public reference.

     According to the rating results, 31 registered lift contractors and 16 registered escalator contractors were awarded the Safety Star. Among these contractors, 15 registered lift contractors and 10 registered escalator contractors had not been found non-compliant with the safety and maintenance requirements as reported in the last two consecutive announcements of performance results, and were therefore given the highest rating of five Quality Stars. The EMSD conducted 30 819 inspections of lifts and escalators during the period.

     The rating results, conviction records, summaries of the warning letters and equipment failure records are available on the EMSD's website (www.emsd.gov.hk/emsd/eng/pps/le_pub_mpr.shtml).
