Introduction

Lifts, as with all machinery, require regular servicing. Preventative maintenance will help to keep your lift in optimum condition, leading to fewer breakdowns, a more reliable lift and, in the medium to long term, lower running costs.

Owners have a responsibility to keep up to date with any changes in legislation, standards and codes of practice that might affect their lifts.

It is recognised that the care of this type of equipment is highly specialised but help will be provided from a reputable maintenance contractor. Your service provider should advise about possible breaches of legislation or compromise of safety for passengers.

If you own or occupy premises in which there is a lift, you and/or your company are responsible, under The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, for maintaining your lift in good and safe working order. If your lift is in a workplace you also have an obligation to have the lift thoroughly examined regularly by a competent person, who will inspect the lift with a view to safety, and should advise you of any defects.
