About Brennan Paterson

Brennan Paterson
With years of experience overseeing, inspecting, and regulating vertical transportation systems, I provide trusted expertise in elevator and escalator safety, accident investigation, and regulatory compliance.
As the former Chief Elevator and Boiler Inspector for the State of Nevada, I directed permitting, inspections, accident reviews, and enforcement for tens of thousands of elevators, escalators, boilers, and pressure vessels statewide. My work included accident investigation and analysis, technical and engineering review and approval, drafting and reviewing of safety regulations, and providing technical and regulatory expertise to stakeholders of all sizes.
Today, through Paterson Consulting, Limited, I deliver that same depth of knowledge to attorneys, building owners, contractors, and regulatory bodies.
