Mobile Safety MeetingsElevator World and Helios Mobile have partnered to bring you the next generation in safety program management. By using a mobile phone or tablet, Elevator World’s Safety Meetings can now be reviewed by mechanics in the field, or at home, and digitally signed verifying that each one has been completed. The form, and signature, is then automati-cally sent back to the office supervisor, or designated person, for record keeping. Using a web-based management tool, a supervisor can schedule weekly safety meetings for each mechanic by the desired date they would like each one completed. If any of the meetings are not completed as scheduled the system will flag the supervisor for immediate follow up with the selected mechanic(s). Create more time on the job and less paperwork while maintaining a safe work environment. Also available: Mechanic, Vehicle and Jobsite Safety Audits and the ability to track and schedule any required OSHA, Mechanical and

Internal certification requirements. Visit elevatorbooks.com for pricing and more information.

eMCP is an innovative new way to survey, manage and create a Maintenance Control Program (MCP) for all units under your control as required by the ASME A17.1/B44 Safety Code.

Using a web-based maintenance management system, data such as age, use and environment is gathered from your specific unit and analyzed to automatically generate your annual MCP. This MCP now gives you the information you need to know, such as what maintenance procedures are needed for that unit’s specific components and the estimated minimum time required to do them. eMCP gives you more control and greater understanding of your units. See the eMCP ad on page 2 for more information.

Say hello to the new tool in town.

Take control of your maintenance. Using a web-based maintenance management system, data such as age, use and environment is gathered from your specific unit and analyzed to automatically generate an annual MCP. This MCP then gives you the information you need to know, such as what maintenance procedures are needed for that unit’s specific components and the estimated minimum time required to do them. Based upon this criteria, a five-year maintenance plan is created to automatically update the MCP’s for you annually. eMCP is ideal for contractors, consultants, building owners, or anyone tasked with creating or managing a MCP.

Lifted: A Cultural History of the Elevatorby Andreas BernardThis fascinating book explores how the elevator changed notions of vertical-ity and urban space. Bernard traces how the elevator quickly took hold in large American cities while gaining much slower acceptance in European cities like Paris and Berlin. Combining technological and architectural history with the literary and cinematic, he opens up new ways of looking at the elevator—as a secular confessional when stalled between floors or as a recurring space in which couples fall in love. Lifted takes the reader on a compelling ride through the history of the elevator. Hardcover, 320 pages, Wt. 2 lb.
