Hello VT Professionals,
It is a common practice to term elevator accidents as elevator failures, but technically, both are quite different. Complaints, like elevator buttons not working, elevators not stopping at desired floors, doors not opening, elevators stopping off-level, sudden stopping, and rope slippage are all failures that can be termed as elevator components/systems failures.
For more details, please read the complete article, “Elevator Failures VS Accidents”, which is written by Rajnikant Lad, an Elevator Auditor, Member of the Society for Reliability and Safety, Member of the National Safety Council, Founder of the Elevator Safety Awareness Forum, a chartered Engineer, and Elevator Consultant. He is working with the Elevator Industry since 1983.
