The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (January 22) announced the performance ratings of registered lift and escalator contractors for the past 12 months (from January 2020 to December 2020) for public reference.
 
     According to the rating results, 34 registered lift contractors and 26 registered escalator contractors were awarded the Safety Star. Among these contractors, 21 registered lift contractors and 17 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 28 528 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).
