UPDATE TO SAFETY CODE FOR PERSONNEL ELEVATORS
In 2023 and 2024, MAK Hoists (“MAK”) was part of the revision process of the CSA Z185:23 Safety Code for Personnel Elevators. The Code, applicable to the Construction Elevator Industry, had not been revised for almost forty years. The revisions included enhancing safety standards and addressing a number of the technological changes that have occurred over the years. These include:
• Enhanced requirements to hoistway enclosures and protection around the hoist.
• Minimal requirements for decks and associated overhead protection.
• Operator training and certification requirements.
MAK is proud to remain a leader in safety, Code knowledge and compliance within Alberta. We adhere to the Compulsory Trade Acts in Alberta, providing only fully trained, qualified and registered elevator mechanics and helpers to work on elevating devices throughout Western Canada.
