Elevating Profits. To Hell With Safety.

On December 5, Ontario Auditor General, Bonnie Lysyk, issued a scathing report about the state of elevator safety in the province. She slammed the agency that regulates elevators, The Technical Standards and Safety Authority, for falling down (no pun intended) on the job. 

Ms. Lysyk said 80 per cent of elevators failed their inspections in 2018 and that there had been 487 safety incidents. The report noted that the agency does not have consistent inspection standards, and ”A number of companies dominate the market and have been failing to make sure elevators meet safety laws”. 

The report did not add they were probably cutting corners for bigger profits and to hell with safety.
