We carry out monthly inspections to the lifts to make sure they are safe to use.
We also complete annual, 5-yearly and 10-yearly inspections to make sure they maintained to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Here are some safety tips to remember when using a lift:
- Don’t overload a lift – all lifts have a weight restriction. Be sure to check the maximum occupancy level next time you use yours to make sure it doesn’t get overloaded.
- In the event of a fire – if there is a fire in your building do not use the lift. If you need to leave the building you must take the stairs. For more information about what to do in the event of a fire, view our fire safety page.
- If you get stuck in a lift – if the lift gets stuck, don’t panic. You can call for help by pressing the alarm button. Hold it down for 15 seconds to let concierge know the lift is stuck.
