YEREVAN, May 25. / ARKA /. Ashot Petrosian, head of the National
Center for Technical Safety of the Armenian Ministry of Emergencies,
was quoted today by Zhamanak (Time) daily as saying that about 13,000
facilities posing danger to public health are registered across
the country.
According to him, large amounts are needed to check their conformity
with safety standards. According to the law, such facilities can be
inspected only once a year. For example, the cost of examining the
safety operation of an elevator in a high-rise building is 240,000
drams.
In his words, 70 elevators were found this year not to meet safe
operation standards, nonetheless, legal entities continue to operate
them.
Last year four children were injured after a merry-go-round broke
down in a Yerevan park. Ashot Petrosian said their total number
has increased from 49 last year to 108. The National Center for
Technical Safety has examined this year 42 carousels to have found
that carousels in Luna Park and Children Railway Station are in good
condition, while those in Hakhtanak Park need to undergo repairs. ($1 -
375,62 drams).
