C-11 Elevators (2024-04-01)

The new safety handbook includes the most up-to-date safety procedures for protection of field employees on every construction or maintenance job.

The ASME A18.1 Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts presents certain guides for the design, construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of inclined stairway chairlifts, and inclined and vertical platform lifts. It covers devices intended for transportation of a mobility-impaired person only—typically within household applications.

A17.1 covers the design, construction, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair of the following equipment, its associated parts, and its hoist ways, where located in or adjacent to a building or structure: (a) hoisting and lowering mechanisms, equipped with a car or platform, which move between two or more landings. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, elevators; (b) power driven stairways and walkways for carrying persons between landings. This equipment includes, but is not limited to escalators and moving walks; (c) hoisting and lowering mechanisms equipped with a car which serves two or more landings and is restricted to the carrying of material by its limited size or limited access to the car. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, dumbwaiters and material lifts.

Updated every three years, the California Electrical Code (CEC)—based on the 2023 NEC® with California amendments—helps contractors, engineers, electricians, inspectors, and safety officials protect people and property from electrical hazards.

It covers installation requirements for electrical conductors, equipment, raceways, signaling and communications systems, and optical fiber cables.

Includes free state updates and supplements.

This book contains the most current information for safety and compliance in California’s construction industry.

The California Building Code (CBC) sets minimum standards for building design, construction, fire and life safety, structural safety, and accessibility. It regulates materials, occupancy, location, and maintenance to protect health, safety, and property. Matrix Adoption Tables at the start of each chapter show which state agencies adopt specific sections.

This 2-volume set is fully integrated with the 2024 International Building Code® and includes free updates.
Effective: January 1, 2026.

A17.2 is to be used in conjunction with other volumes of ASME's A17 series of Safety Codes. Careful application of these A17 Safety Codes will help users to comply with applicable regulations within their jurisdictions, while achieving the operational and safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best-practices detailed within these volumes. Intended for anyone engaged in the safety of elevators, escalators and related equipment.
