• Product flaws
• Negligence
• Conscious violation of safety codes and standards

 Accident Prevention

It is the duty and obligation of a local Phoenix business to ensure your safety. The following are a couple necessary actions a business should take in order to prevent an unnecessary accident.

• A certified inspector should examine whether or not the elevator or escalator meets all safety codes and regulations of the State
• Employees of the building need to periodically check to see if maintenance is required

If caution and awareness are not a business or building’s main priorities, then an accident will likely ensue.
