48 Lifts at Tsui Ping North Estate and Pok Hong Estate Missing Fire-Resistant Door Components as EMSD Refers Case to Police
升降機工程失誤 工程師稱須調查原因不排除是監工問題
Tait Yat Elevator (Hong Kong) Company Limited was accused of failing to install fire-resistant door frame components on 48 lifts at Tsui Ping (North) Estate in Kwun Tong and Pok Hong Estate in Sha Tin while reporting the work as completed. After surprise inspections, the EMSD considered that the incident might involve criminal acts of fraud and providing false statements, and will refer the case to police. Polytechnic University visiting professor Ho Wing Yip said the components are used to connect the wall and fire-resistant door to prevent fire and smoke from entering the lift and shaft through gaps during a fire, and he considered that it might not be ruled out that it was a supervision problem, with the true cause pending investigation.
The EMSD referred the case to police after surprise inspections, affecting 48 lifts across two estates, so readers can check whether their own estate is on the list.
