Our Policy

It is the organization’s policy to ensure the minimum health and safety requirements of the law. We aim to provide a working environment that is safe and that maximizes the effectiveness of employees.

In order to achieve our goals, we have put in place arrangements and procedures for the assessment and control of risks with regard to the installation, use and maintenance of passenger lifts and escalators

Employer’s Duties

We undertake to ensure that:

  • all passenger lifts and escalators will be subjected to thorough examination by a competent person in accordance with legal and best practice requirements and that any defects identified will be rectified immediately or the passenger lift or escalator will be taken out of service until they are rectified
  • only competent persons will be allowed to carry out any installation, modification, repair or maintenance on any passenger lift or escalator.

Employees’ Duties

No employees must undertake work on a passenger lift or escalator unless they:

  • are competent to do so
  • have been authorized to do so

Lift and Escalator Procedures

Procedures are therefore in place to:

  • arrange for thorough examinations for all lifts and escalators at a frequency specified by the competent person and not exceeding every six months
  • obtain, and retain for inspection, a report/certificate that gives information on the safety of the lift or escalator
  • maintain the lifts and escalators in accordance with manufacturers’ or installers’ instructions and to keep an up-to-date maintenance log
  • instruct staff in the safe use of lifts or escalators, including emergency procedures associated with them

  • train key staff in the procedures to be taken in the event of a lift or escalator breakdown and when and how persons are to be released
  • keep all moving parts of the machinery guarded
  • prevent unauthorized persons from entering the lift plant room
