拉斯维加斯市建筑安全管理局在近日公布了《电梯安全：建筑与安全管理局电梯检验工程》的2018年报告。考虑到大众每天搭乘的交通工具的数量，由交通工具本身导致的事故率相比之下是比较低的。当局列出了2015年和2016年上报的总共311件事故，其中有295（约占95%）是非设备异常或编码异常造成的。其中造成事故和受伤的原因中，占比最大的是乘客在搭乘扶梯时失去平衡并/或跌倒在安全无异常的扶梯设备上。这份由拉斯维加斯官方公布的综合性报告及其附件可在其官网上获得。

　　L.A. RELEASES ELEVATOR/ESCALATOR AUDIT

　　The Los Angeles City Controller's Department of Building & Safety has released its "Elevating Safety: Audit of the Department of Building & Safety’s Elevator Inspection Program" report for 2018. Given the number of conveyances upon which people ride daily, accidents involving these devices are modest. The department logged 311 accidents reported in 2015 and 2016. Of those, 295 (95%) were determined to not be caused by an equipment malfunction or code violation. The largest portion of accidents and injuries involved escalator passengers losing their balance and/or falling on conveyances that were found to be safe. This comprehensive report and others from the L.A. Audit Services Division are available at website.
