As of November 1st, 2011 The Division of Building Safety – Industrial Safety Section – Elevator Program will no longer accept elevator requests by phone or in person. This is effective for all regions. All inspection requests will need to be emailed to safety@dbs.idaho.gov. Please include the following in your inspection request:
- State ID#
- Name of Owner
- Name of Building
- Physical address where elevator is located
- Person to contact to schedule inspection
Once the email has been received and the elevator confirmed, an inspector or office staff will contact you within 2 working days to schedule the inspection.
If it is an inspection request for an acceptance please include the pre-inspection checklist with the email request.
