Space between swing doors and collapsible gates still a hazard

The ASME A17 Elevator Safety Codes are intended to address safety issues of the type of accident that could occur in spaces between swing doors and collapsible gates. To be effective, it is essential that this and other elevator safety codes be adopted by local jurisdictions in a timely manner, that all code-mandated requirements be implemented by owners without delay, and that the safety codes be enforced vigorously by local authorities. All stakeholders in the industry have a role to play in ensuring that elevators are safe for public use.
