Section 380:70-3-10 - Noncomplying conveyances

(a) Whenever the Commissioner or his/her duly appointed representative determines that an elevator or conveyance is subject to the provisions of this Act and that the operation of such conveyance is exposing the public to an unsafe condition likely to result in serious personal injury or property damage, he/she may immediately order in writing that the use of the elevator or conveyance be stopped until such time as it is determined that the conveyance has been made safe for use by the public. Any such written order shall constitute an immediate suspension of any valid Certificate of Operation granted under the provisions of this Act.

(b) Whenever the Commissioner or his/her duly appointed representative determines that the provisions of this Act and these rules and regulations have not been complied with, he/she may refuse to issue or renew, or may revoke or suspend a Certificate of Operation.

(c) Written notification as required in subsection (a) of this section may be in the form of a "Red Tag" affixed to the elevator or conveyance at the time of inspection by the elevator inspector, Commissioner, Chief Elevator Inspector, or Deputy Inspector stating that any further operation of the conveyance is in violation of the provisions of the Elevator Safety Act. If a Certificate Inspector or Special Inspector reasonably believes that the operation of a conveyance is exposing the public to an unsafe condition likely to result in serious personal injury or property damage, the Certificate Inspector or Special Inspector shall immediately contact the Chief Elevator Inspector to request authority to issue a "Red Tag" for that specific elevator or conveyance.

(d) Any elevator or conveyance "Red Tagged" shall be rendered disabled by the owner/user or their authorized agent or contractor in the presence of the elevator inspector issuing the "Red Tag" and such elevator or conveyance shall remain inoperative until further operation is authorized by the Commissioner after reinspection and the elevator or conveyance has been found to be in compliance with the provisions of this Act.
