Lift Maintenance

The appropriate level, standard and frequency of maintenance is both a legal requirement and also best practice covered by several items of legislation and recommendations.

As the duty-holder (defined as any person or organisation making Vertical Transport equipment or machinery available for use or the management thereof) it is incumbent on you to ensure the ongoing maintenance and safety of the installation and that of its passengers / users.

Aside from compliance with the above, there are also several factors for you to consider such as:

• Is maintenance being carried out to the appropriate standard and frequency by my existing contractor?

• Am I getting best value in terms of the type of contract and inclusions/exclusions therein?

• Is my contractor responsive and promptly available when I need them?

• Am I sure that my Lift Contractor is acting appropriately and in a timely manner on recommendations and requirements highlighted in my thorough examination reports (often referred to as insurance inspections) ?

• I'm getting what seems to be an inordinate amount of breakdowns, is this due to the age and wear of the equipment, is this normal, and what can I do about it?

• Am I being supplied with, and keeping sufficient records of, maintenance visits, call-outs, inspections and certification to satisfy the legal requirements and my obligations?

• Can I get an overview of all the equipment in my portfolio in one easily accessible and understandable format in order to assist me in making the right decisions? ​

• I'm being told that my equipment is obsolete. What now?
