    SINOPSIS FROM THE JOURNAL

    Elevator accidents are uncommon, but can cause significant injury. However,
    little data exist on these types of accidents. In Tehran Iran, during a four-year period
    (1999-2003), 1,819 cases of elevator-related accidents are investigated. The data were
    obtained from the Tehran Safety Services & Fire Fighting Organization (TSFO) that
    is officially and solely responsible to conduct rescue missions of civilians in Tehran.

    In an annual report of Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) the cause
    of 61% of all elevator accidents reported in 2002 was attributed to factors related to
    device maintenance inadequacies and/or device malfunctioning.

    In our study technical problems (device malfunction or poor maintenance) with


    74.5% was the main cause of elevator accidents. The reason might be attributed to the
    circumstance of elevator maintenance and construction. Many of the elevators in use
    in Iran have been imported from European, North American or Asian companies.
    Unfortunately, the spare parts that are used for elevator repair or maintenance are
    sometimes acquired from companies different from the original manufacturers.
    Furthermore, some of the elevators in use are assembled in our country; meanwhile
    their parts are obtained from different companies. Consequently, the parts may not
    match and eventually may lead to technical problems and accidents. So, considering
    this issue, the spare parts of imported or domestically assembled elevators must be
    obtained from the main manufactures in order to prevent malfunctioning problems
    that can lead to elevator related accidents. In addition, periodic inspections of
    operating elevators can also prevent these types of accidents.
