These 16 companies are subject to administrative action, including fines and business suspension. Over the last year, the Ministry, in collaboration with local governments and the Korea Elevator Safety Corp., has been conducting unannounced sample inspections. Companies selected through lowest bid, shortest inspection time and public interest reports are examined for self-inspection implementation and failure to report elevator accidents.
