Lift contractor prosecuted

July 25, 2014

The Electrical & Mechanical Services Department has taken prosecution action against registered lift contractor Ben Fung Machineries & Engineering and a registered lift worker for failing to ensure lift works were conducted properly and safely.

 

On January 26 a lift in Waterside Plaza, Tsuen Wan, had a fault and the management called the contractor for an inspection.

 

During the inspection the lift was damaged after ascending too high and hitting the ceiling slab of the lift shaft. No one was injured.

 

The department tested the lift's safety system and found no abnormality. Evidence suggested that proper inspection and maintenance procedures were not followed and human error was involved.
