March 31, 2018 – Chicago, Illinois. The Elevator Consultants, a leading elevator consulting and vertical transportation consulting firm, helps building owners and property managers improve elevator efficiency. They also help increase the bottom line. The firm is proud to announce an important post to its blog on ASME A17.1/CSA B44 responsibilities. It specifically addresses confusion among building owners. They may not understand that the ultimate responsibility is theirs, not the property managers.
ASME stands for “American Society of Mechanical Engineers” and is the governing body for elevator safety standards.
“The worst-case scenario occurs when one party thinks the other is responsible, and no one takes the appropriate safety and compliance steps necessary as required by ASME A17.1/CSA B44,” explained Laurie Axium, marketing manager at The Elevator Consultants. “Our blog post helps sound the alarm for building owners to have a frank discussion with property managers as to the need to comply with ASME A17.1/CSA B44. As leading elevator consultants, we often provide an external voice for building owners. This ensures things are in proper order.”

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE? A QUESTION ON ASME A17.1/CSA B44 ASKED BETTER SOONER THAN LATER
Major buildings and their vertical transportation assets are complex. They are not only “mission critical” to the operation and safety of a building but also challenging from a human management perspective. Building owners may mistakenly assume that the property management company handles ASME A17.1/CSA B44 compliance. Meanwhile, property management companies often concentrate on day-to-day operations and may misunderstand or overlook compliance requirements.
The phrase “My property manager handles my elevators” is common among building owners. However, that level of reliance may fall short when a regulatory agency conducts an inspection or when an incident leads to litigation.
The new post explains that the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevator and Escalator Safety Code states that this responsibility falls on the building owner. Those involved in managing vertical transportation assets are urged to read the important new blog post. They are encouraged to reach out to a professional elevator consulting firm. This serves as an outside voice to ensure proper regulatory compliance.
