Stories about elevator and escalator accidents appear regularly in the newspapers and on TV.  As the owner or manager of buildings, you know how easily these accidents can happen and how devastating they can be.  The slightest defect in equipment, a minor operational failure, or sloppy maintenance can translate into a major personal tragedy - and many thousands of dollars lost.

   The current safety code for elevators and escalators is the most comprehensive and toughest to date, however it only applies to elevators and escalators being installed now.  Most elevators and escalators in the United States do not comply with this code.  That's why it's so important for you to evaluate your equipment and make sure your maintenance program is the best it can be.

   For over three decades, Hubert H. Hayes, Inc. has been providing building professionals with a full range of expert consulting and inspection services, specifically designed to insure the safety and proper maintenance of their elevators and escalators.  This section is provided with updates on safeguards and how we can keep your buildings out of the headlines.

Sincerely,

Hubert H. Hayes
