Authorities in Hong Kong have reported that lifts at an additional 74 buildings serviced by Taizoom Elevator are missing crucial safety components, bringing the total affected properties to 152. These door frame components are essential for protecting occupants from flames and smoke in the event of a fire. The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department has conducted citywide inspections of all lifts handled by Taizoom, with about 180 more buildings yet to be checked.
The department has warned that the affected number is expected to rise further. All registered lift contractors have been ordered to review their work at similar buildings dating back a decade. Installation works for the missing door frame components are being carried out under the supervision of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, with all costs borne by the contractor.
