Third Party Certified Escalator/Travelator Safety Inspection Services

The presence of escalators and travelators in malls, airports, metro stations, and commercial complexes is invaluable. These travel devices move thousands of passengers daily, and the responsibility for their safety, assured reliability, and compliance remains, ultimately, the responsibility of the owner or facility manager. Engaging the services of a third-party certified escalator and travelator safety inspection service to provide independent and impartial assessments are necessary to ensure their safe and smooth operating functions. These inspections are carried out by accredited third-party agencies, and they are not connected to the manufacturer or maintenance provider in any way. The inspection process involves a thorough examination of mechanical and electrical systems, including step chain, balustrades, handrails, drive units, braking, emergency stop devices, safety switches, and passenger protection systems.

These inspections also verify compliance with International standards such as EN 115 and ISO codes and compliance with local safety regulations. Certified inspectors assess hazards and risks that are not obvious, call out any non-compliances, and provide recommendations for action on any non-compliances. By having third-party services inspect the escalators or travelators regularly, the property owner can minimize the number of accidents or break downs, increase the life expectancy of the equipment, reduce liability for the property owner, and provide confidence for the public who use their system. By using third-party safety inspection services, organizations can demonstrate compliance, improve the safety of passengers, and prove their dedication to formal safety standards and operational excellence This service is certainly well worth the costs involved, for any organization with escalators or travelators as part of its operation.
