据WSMV News4报道，离美国田纳西州被曝大量电梯设备逾期未检已经过去九个月，现在的跟进调查显示尽管政府仍在加紧处理，但整体情况有所好转。田纳西州法律要求所有电梯每年至少检验两次，但根据州审计员审查的2014年7月至2018年3月的50次检验中，平均每台电梯的检验日期比要求的晚了74天。更严重的是，2018年11月的一次审查发现田纳西州中部地区的部分电梯设备已经好几年没有做过安全检验了。自此，该州立即采取措施，开展电梯设备检验，其中还包括采用新电脑系统提高检验效率，识别逾期检验的电梯设备，规划新的检验路线，并且招聘四名检验人员专门负责纳什维尔地区。州政府表示目前几乎赶上了检验时间的要求。

　　TENNESSEE HAS IMPROVED ON DELINQUENT INSPECTIONS

　　Nine months after news reports that Tennessee was behind on elevator inspections, a followup investigation shows the situation has improved, though officials are still trying to catch up, WSMV News4 reports. State law calls for all elevators to be inspected at least twice a year, but a state comptroller's audit of 50 inspections conducted between July 2014 and March 2018 found that the inspections were undertaken an average of 74 days late. Worse, a November 2018 audit discovered that some elevators in the Mid-State region had gone without safety inspections for years. The state has since taken steps to catch up, including implementing a new computer system to make the inspection system more efficient overall and in identifying delinquent inspections, rearranging inspection routes and hiring four additional inspectors for the Nashville area. State officials said they are nearly current with inspections.
