THE local quality watchdog said it is revising regulations on elevator safety with improvements in video surveillance equipment, elevator maintenance and insurance.
The Shanghai Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau released a list of 20 elevator companies that have had irregularities such as workers failing to obtain certificates and unfamiliar with regulations.
The bureau this month also found 527 "scissors-style" escalators - with one going up and another down next to each other - that failed to have a fixed guard where they intersect. All deficiencies have been rectified, it said.
A new safety standard requires escalator operators to install a fixed baffle to keep riders from having their heads or extremities injured.
