Abstract

By utilising data from official sources, a statistical analysis was made on the elevator accidents that occurred in China during the period 2002 to 2019 on five aspects namely elevator type, occurrence stage, casualty’s identity, accident type and accident causes. The main purpose is to use the frequency and correlation among related factors to evaluate crucial causes, and to prevent similar accidents among technicians and users. Based on the statistical results and discussion, some proposals were put forward to the management of the responsible authorities for accident investigation and prevention of similar elevator accidents in the future.
