Elevators in Hayward buildings are regulated by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health Elevator Unit, requiring annual inspections, permits to operate, and certified maintenance.
Elevator regulation in Hayward falls primarily to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) Elevator, Ride and Tramway Unit rather than the city. Under California Labor Code 7300 through 7324 and Title 8 CCR, every elevator must have a current permit to operate, renewed after passing annual inspection. Building owners must hire a licensed elevator contractor for maintenance and repairs, maintain a maintenance control program log on site, and respond promptly to any safety order. Inspection tags must be posted in the elevator car. Failure to maintain a current permit can result in orders to cease use, daily fines, and civil liability if injuries occur. Hayward Building Division coordinates on new installations and major modifications.
