In 2019, ASME updated the landscape of elevator safety by incorporating two-way text and one-way video into A17.1-2.27.1. Dive into the heart of this change with our webinar, designed to unravel the impact, intent, and subsequent implications on equipment, installation, and monitoring requirements. As an extra bonus, we will also explore the proper way to test for elevator phone compliance.
Join us on this educational opportunity and empower yourself to navigate the changing landscape of elevator emergency communications with confidence and expertise.
Learning Objectives: At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:
