Last week, a child was squeezed by an elevator door, which lifted him off the floor. Those that are not declared are not included among the bureau’s sample candidates.Ĭhui hopes that with the annual checks, users’ safety can be ensured. Lam noted that DSSOPT only samples 5 percent of the elevators that are declared to DSSOPT.

However, only around 2,500 elevators are being checked annually, with the checks also being reported to DSSOPT. Lam U Tou, president of the association, said that upon his association inspecting eight buildings in Coloane, Taipa, and Macau peninsula, it was found that despite these buildings having elevator safety certificates, only one could be confirmed on DSSOPT’s website.Ĭhui Ming Man, member of the consultative council of the community service of the central district, suggests the government should implement mandatory annual elevator checks.Īccording to Lam, Macau currently has approximately 8,000 elevators. The association said that it would report to the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) regarding DSSOPT’s mismanagement. It has been forked off NIFopt and both programm share the same underlying technology regarding DDSs and BSAs.

T he Association of Synergy of Macao held a press conference yesterday questioning the Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT)’s supervision over lift safety. DDSopt is a tool which manages and recompressed DDS-files.
