Compliance

There are several statutes, regulations and best practice obligations on anyone making vertical transportation equipment available for use (the "Duty-Holder") whether it be a building owner or manager, dependent on the type of equipment and the premises.

These include the requirement for having your equipment regularly inspected and certified by competent personnel, you keeping a documented record and acting on the recommendations raised during said inspections, and to have said equipment regularly maintained to the appropriate standard to ensure the safety of users.

Your obligations are covered by, not exhaustively:

• The Health & Safety at Work Act

• LOLER

• PUWER

• SAFED (LG1) Supplementary Testing

• The Accessibility Act 2010 (Formerly DDA)

• The Machinery Directive

  Given the number of regulations and the fact that they are often inter-dependent, it is easy to see how many duty-holders are unsure as to whether they are complying and what they need to do to ensure that they are.

At ConsultaLift Ltd. we have 42 years of industry experience and keep ourselves up to date with latest developments and changes to regulations. We can carry out an audit and thereafter provide guidance to ensure that you are compliant with your responsibilities.
