EMSD releases lift and escalator contractors' latest performance ratings
***************************************************************

     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (April 27) announced the performance ratings of registered lift and escalator contractors for the past 12 months (from April 2017 to March 2018) for public reference.
 
     According to the rating results, 32 registered lift contractors and 28 registered escalator contractors were awarded the Safety Star. Among these contractors, 17 registered lift contractors and 18 registered escalator contractors had not been found in non-compliance 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 12 048 inspections of lifts and escalators during the period.

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