Any
elevator professional in the State of Illinois requires us to have 10 hours of
continuing education. Elevator
Inspectors and Elevator mechanics are required to have ongoing learning about
their craft to maintain knowledge about new technology, elevator safety, new
code requirements, changes in local code, changes in national code, etc. For the last 7 years Colley Elevator has
hosted Joe Donnelly, PE Elevator Education Program for elevator inspectors and
elevator mechanics.
Each
year we have done 2 evenings of training on A17.1, A17.2, A17.3, A117.1, NEC,
Fire Fighters Service review and other topics depending on the year; State of
Illinois code update, City of Chicago update, new technology and other items
that come up.
While
we have had a great instructor we also have a wonderful resource in the room
with having 25-35 elevator professionals that have all different experiences
and can add a lot of value to the topics and codes we are reviewing. The two
days is a great chance to learn new items or refresh on items.
Over
the years we have had inspectors, mechanics and architects/design team members
from City of Chicago, Cook County, Elevator Inspection Services, CPS, Colley,
Kone, Urban, Anderson, Mid America, Schindler, Suburban among others. The experience and knowledge in the room is
incredible.
*Not
only do I get to catch up with old friends but we get to learn together and
from one another. We are a huge proponent of continuing education at Colley so
it this is an event that I look forward to every year. At the end of the two days, after working all
day and sitting through 5 hours of code we are all beat but it is always a
grear experiece.
Next
education event is 9/24/19 & 9/25/19 4:30pm to 9:30pm.
Chicago
Elevator Association is also having Joe talk at our next meeting on 9/5/19 at
the Clubhouse in Oak Brook, IL. For more information
