Section 455C.519 - Inspections: List of elevators and related equipment which require inspection; qualifications of special inspector; duties and responsibilities of special inspector; equipment found to pose imminent danger; follow-up inspection1. The Mechanical Compliance Section shall establish and maintain a listing of all elevators and related equipment in this State which require inspection.2. A special inspector is responsible for billing and collecting from the owner of the equipment inspected the payment for any inspection service the special inspector performs.3. Before performing any duty as a special inspector, a special inspector must: (a) Receive training from the Mechanical Compliance Section on the requirements of this chapter and the policies and procedures of the Mechanical Compliance Section relating to the inspection of elevators; and(b) Demonstrate competency in the duties of a special inspector through an evaluation performed by the Mechanical Compliance Section.4. A special inspector shall comply with all policies and procedures of the Mechanical Compliance Section for conducting inspections. A special inspector who fails to comply with this subsection may have his or her certificate of competency suspended or revoked pursuant to NAC 455C.492 or 455C.626.5. A special inspector shall immediately notify the Mechanical Compliance Section of unsafe equipment in a condition which poses an imminent danger. A condition will be considered to pose an imminent danger if the existing condition of the equipment without being corrected could reasonably be expected to result in death or serious physical harm to a user of the equipment or a member of the general public. The Mechanical Compliance Section shall consider whether the equipment which is the subject of such a notification requires an emergency order to be issued pursuant to NAC 455C.530 and, if so, issue such an emergency order.6. After a special inspector performs an inspection, the Mechanical Compliance Section may perform a follow-up inspection to ensure the quality and consistency of the inspection without prior notification or cost to the owner of the equipment that was inspected.Nev.
