Elevator Inspection Program
Program Overview
The NWCCOG Elevator Inspection Program (EIP) inspects and issues permits for conveyances (elevators, lifts, dumbwaiters and escalators) to ensure safe conveyances throughout the region. The program began in 1993. Prior to that, most conveyances were not inspected.
NWCCOG member jurisdictions are invited to sign a "Letter of Agreement" with NWCCOG, agreeing to adopt codes for conveyances. Jurisdictions then agree to pass an ordinance authorizing the inspection service fees. NWCCOG's elevator inspectors work cooperatively with each jurisdiction's building department to implement the program in that jurisdiction. In addition to providing elevator inspection services to NWCCOG members, the EIP also serves Routt, Garfield and Clear Creek counties, and the towns of Craig, Georgetown, Hayden, New Castle, Oak Creek, Rifle, Silt, and Yampa.

Elevator Program Advisory Committee
All participating jurisdictions are invited to appoint their Building Official to the Advisory Committee. The Committee reviews any implementation problems being experienced by the Elevator Inspector and recommends solutions in the form of policy development, operational procedures or technical advice. Recommendations from the Advisory Committee are then submitted to the NWCCOG Board of Directors for Adoption.
