A Maintenance Control Program (MCP) is a plan to ensure that an elevator, escalator, or other conveyance equipment is maintained correctly throughout its life. It contains specific written information that indicates what maintenance should be performed, how that maintenance should be performed, when it should be performed, and how often it should be performed. An MCP provides a list of necessary work items to be performed, a place to record the completed work, and the records of completion made available to persons trained in the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, or testing of vertical transportation equipment, which includes AHJs/RAs – Inspectors. All building owners and managers should have an MCP for each of the elevators, escalators, and moving walks in their building.
Learning objectives—At the end of session, participants will be able to:
- Enhance Safety by identifying and addressing hazards to prevent accidents and injuries.
- Minimize Downtime through proactive maintenance that prevents unexpected breakdowns.
- Extend Equipment Life with regular upkeep that preserves elevator functionality.
- Ensure Compliance by adhering to local regulations and industry standards.
- Reduce Costs by resolving issues early to lower maintenance and repair expenses.
