Abstract

BACKGROUND

Elevator-related accidents are uncommon, but can cause significant injury. However, little data exist on these types of accidents. To compile and analyze accident data involving elevators in an effort to eliminate or at least significantly reduce such accidents.

METHODS

In this retrospective study we investigated 1,819 cases of elevator-related accidents during a four-year period (1999-2003) in Tehran. 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.

RESULTS

The number of elevator accidents has increased steadily during the four year study period. During these four years there was a positive upward trend for serious injuries and mortality resulting from elevator accidents. Technical problems were the main cause with 74.5%, followed by power loss and overcapacity riding with 11.5% and 7.9% respectively. Sixty-three individuals sustained serious injury and 15 people died as a result of elevator accidents. The number of accidents was significantly higher in summer (x2=18.32, P=0.032) and a considerable proportion of incidences (54%, 947 cases out of 1819) occurred between 5 and 12 pm.

CONCLUSIONS

Establishment of an organization to inspect the settings, maintenance, and repair of elevators is necessary.

摘要

背景

电梯相关事故并不常见，但可能导致严重伤害。然而，关于这类事故的数据很少。为了汇编和分析涉及电梯的事故数据，以消除或至少显著减少此类事故。

方法

在这项回顾性研究中，我们调查了德黑兰在四年期间（1999 - 2003年）的1819起电梯相关事故案例。数据来自德黑兰安全服务与消防组织（TSFO），该组织正式且唯一负责在德黑兰执行平民救援任务。

结果

在四年的研究期间，电梯事故数量稳步增加。在这四年中，电梯事故导致的重伤和死亡呈上升趋势。技术问题是主要原因，占74.5%，其次是停电和超载，分别占11.5%和7.9%。63人因电梯事故受重伤，15人死亡。事故数量在夏季显著更高（x2 = 18.32，P = 0.032），并且相当大比例的事故（54%，1819起事故中的947起）发生在下午5点至12点之间。
