In a proactive move to ensure the safety and well-being of residents, the Greater Noida Authority has established a five-member safety committee tasked with the oversight of lifts and escalators across the city. This initiative aims to prevent accidents and incidents related to these essential amenities.
The committee, comprising members from various relevant departments, will conduct regular inspections of lifts and escalators in both residential and commercial buildings. They will assess the equipment’s compliance with safety standards, identify potential hazards, and recommend corrective measures.
The formation of this committee comes in response to growing concerns about the safety of lifts and escalators in the region. In recent years, there have been instances of accidents and malfunctions involving these machines, leading to injuries and even fatalities. By establishing a dedicated committee to monitor these critical pieces of infrastructure, the Greater Noida Authority hopes to enhance safety standards and prevent future incidents.
The committee’s mandate extends beyond inspections and safety assessments. It will also be responsible for ensuring that building owners and property management companies adhere to maintenance schedules and comply with all relevant regulations. Additionally, the committee will work with lift and escalator manufacturers to promote awareness about safety best practices and encourage the adoption of advanced technologies.
The formation of the five-member safety committee is a significant step towards ensuring the safety of residents and visitors in Greater Noida. By proactively addressing potential hazards and enforcing safety standards, the committee aims to create a safer and more secure environment for all.
