EMSD reviews lift approvals after Taizoom lifts fail check

The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department says it will review the approval mechanism for lifts, requiring contractors to take photo evidence during installation.

This as the government is ordering Taizoom Elevator Company to complete repairs and remedial actions for a large number of problematic projects.

According to the EMSD, inspections revealed 90% of the lifts maintained by Taizoom, totalling 720 units, were missing fire-rated door frame components.

Our investigation for collecting the evidence for all the lifts installed by Taizoom is carrying on, also we are supporting the police to carry out their criminal investigation.
