Exemptions within elevator bill worry lawmakers
A bill aiming to codify supervision for elevators and escalators has raised concerns in a parliamentary committee, as lawmakers worry that it might cause complications when such facilities located in residential buildings of heights between 9 and 20.5 meters are proposed to enjoy exemptions under the new bill. Exemptions are also proposed for such facilities located in construction sites. Moreover, the bill has no stipulations on the authorities who are authorized to suspend operations of malfunctioned facilities. The range of the proposed fines is also considered very wide. Committee members are awaiting explanations from the government.
