The Korea Elevator Safety Agency (Chairman Lee Yong-pyo) Busan·Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters (Head Kim Young-hak) decided on the 22nd to begin full-scale activities for ‘elevator safety accident prevention’ and ‘energy-saving projects’.

For the prevention of safety accidents among elevator industry workers, risk factors of 4,130 elevators installed in public institutions will be identified, and improvement and removal work will be carried out.
As part of carbon reduction efforts, it was agreed to install energy-saving elevators (500 units) when replacing and installing aging elevators.
