This study examines the safety issues associated with the operation of elevator equipment, the causes of accidents during accidents, and suggests ways to reduce the severity of their consequences. A prerequisite for applying a risk-based approach in control and supervisory activities is the collection, systematization and analysis of information on the state of technical devices in order to assess the risk of incidents on them to ensure safe operation and reduce the administrative burden associated with inspections at facilities where the risk is minimal. The aim of the study is to develop ways to reduce the risk of accidents with personal injury or death at elevator structures and the severity of their consequences.
