About NAESA International

PURPOSE:

"To foster and assist in the promulgation of a standard safety code and interpretation thereof, for elevators and related equipment, and to engage in activities and establish programs to exchange and impart information of common interest to the membership and to develop the professional reputation of elevator safety authorities."

NAESA International is an organization:

Comprised of diverse members who share a sincere interest in elevator safety, code enforcement, and technology;
Whose purpose includes providing QEI Certification (Qualified Elevator Inspector) training and testing to qualified individuals;
Conducting several Regional workshops a year throughout the United States and Canada to inform, educate, and provide a forum for individuals to discuss elevator topics;

Providing classroom training on a variety of topical elevator subjects.

NAESA International is a non-profit international organization with almost 2200 members and QEI certified inspectors.

Our organization is comprised of elevator inspectors, mechanics, consultants, contractors, architects, engineers, elevator manufacturers and others interested in elevator safety, code enforcement, and technology.

Over the past 30 plus years NAESA International has certified over 2200 inspectors. We administer an annual renewal test on the latest codes to QEI individuals who must pass this test to stay proficient and up-to-date on the latest codes to maintain their certification. NAESA International holds several weeklong training classes throughout the United States, providing intensive elevator code familiarization. At the end of the training week qualified individuals may take the QEI test for certification as a Qualified Elevator Inspector.

NAESA International also holds "Workshops" (elevator educational seminars) twice a year in each of our Eastern, Central and Western Regions. NAESA's Canadian Region also holds annual workshops. The purpose of these workshops is to inform, create a forum for topical elevator issues and to help promote the standardization of Safety Codes for Elevators, Escalators and related equipment. The workshops bring people together from all over the world to exchange ideas and learn. These workshops typically have several guest speakers and open forum segments. Attendance at these events provides indiviuals with an opportunity to mingle with others who have had similar experiences in the industry.

NAESA International will embark this year on widespread educational programs giving classroom training in specialized elevator subjects. Topics will include A17.1-2007/CSA B44-07 Code training, updates to the Elevator Industry's Field Employee Safety Handbook as well as other subjects.
