This British Standard gives recommendations for safe working practices (supported by training) for:
— owners of permanently installed lifts serving defined landing levels;
— persons having effective control of the premises where such lifts are installed;
— persons responsible for, and involved in, the design, installation, thorough examination, inspection, testing, service, maintenance, repair and dismantling of such lifts.
NOTE 1 Requirements for lifts and associated parts of lift installations are not included in this code of practice; these are given in other types of standard such as specifications and test methods. The recommendations in this British Standard relate to the safety of persons when gaining access to and from the work area on a lift installation, and whilst working there. They also relate to the safety of others present in the vicinity, whether they are working or not, who could be endangered by the actions of those working on lifts.
This British Standard is applicable to persons working on all types of lift. However, not every recommendation is applicable for all types of lift that are covered by British Standards either published or in preparation. For lifts that have been designed and installed in accordance with the Lifts Regulations 1997 [2], the recommendations in this standard that affect product design do not apply.
NOTE 2 Legal responsibilities for the safety of persons working on lifts are summarized in Annex A, together with titles of the relevant UK legislation.
