State Mandated Preliminary Orders

 

Your lift is essential for getting from one place to another, so it’s frustrating when it isn’t working as it should. But the inconvenience may just be the first step, and a visit from California’s Safety Engineer could result in your elevator getting shut down altogether.

A preliminary order can stem from a mandatory state safety inspection. If the Safety Engineer finds that your lift is in violation of any codes, or requires repairs, you will be notified by the Department of Industrial Relations in your district by way of a preliminary order. Inside, you will find any corrections and repairs that need to be made, as well as contact information to get additional details.California Commercial Elevators

Infractions can show up for several reasons. Safety is often of the biggest concern, and the state might even shut down your elevator to avoid accidents until necessary repairs have been made. Your unit may also be shut down if you’re found to be using non-compliant equipment that doesn’t conform to state regulations.

When you receive a preliminary order, it’s in your best interest to have the matter resolved as soon as possible. That’s why you can rely on Diamond Elevator to get your lift back in service. We offer prompt accessibility and elevator repair and upgrades to make sure you’re complying with all applicable state regulations.
