There was a big accident in the elevator. Will the elevator manager go to jail?

In the case of a major accident in the elevator, the elevator manager fails to perform his duties, seriously neglects his duties, and is suspected of constituting a crime of major liability accident, and needs to be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.

Article 134 of the criminal law is the crime of major liability accident; Whoever forces the crime of illegal and risky operations to violate the relevant provisions of the safety management of production and operation, causing heavy casualties or other serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; If the circumstances are especially bad, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.

Extended data:

The new regulations of the Special Regulations of the Special Zone clearly stipulate that after the accident of special equipment, the user should bear the main responsibility, actively treat the wounded and pay the expenses in advance, otherwise it will face a penalty of 300 to 654.38+ 10,000 yuan. After the accident liability is determined, the user has the right to recover from the relevant responsible party according to the division of accident liability. This means: like Mrs. Zhou's case, the property company that uses the management unit bears the first responsibility.

The "Special Provisions of the Special Zone" points out that elevator users should keep the elevators in use in a safe and suitable state and abide by the following provisions: (1) Designate elevator safety management personnel to manage elevators, and assign special personnel to manage and use special keys;

Install the elevator emergency call system and ensure its effective use; Schools, hospitals, stations, ports, shopping malls, stadiums, exhibition halls, parks and other public gathering places (hereinafter referred to as public gathering places) shall install elevator safety operation monitoring systems; When there is an incident or failure that affects the personal and property safety of elevator passengers, organize and implement rescue immediately.
