Elevator problems cause a scare at a Seattle hospital
Hi everyone –
It’s Scott Wallask checking in here at the Hospital Safety Center.
Those of you who use ISIS model elevators manufactured by ThyssenKrupp should read this story about a hospital that had an elevator failure in Seattle. Luckily, the elevator’s safety brakes worked and no one was injured.
ISIS models use Kevlar ropes that don’t require a machine room. In a letter available at the link above, ThyssenKrupp has outlined a series of actions it will take across the country in response to the hospital mishap.
