This is an important document and has some significant changes over the old version which is withdrawn. Key changes include:

  1. Updates to accommodate new legislation;
  2. New and revised standards published since 2001 e.g. BS EN 81-80;
  3. Improved safety procedures for working in a lift pit;
  4. The inclusion of information on occasions where there is more than one person working;
  5. Information on working on machine-room-less lift installations;
  6. The inclusion of recommendations for electrical working

These changes have been the subject of presentations at a LEIA Technical Seminar and LEIA Safety Forum. The Technical Seminar included a valuable presentation from the HSE giving an insight into the importance of the provisions within BS 7255 and how the HSE use such a document to benchmark industry’s activities.
