Recommendations to Improve the Safety of Existing Lifts (revised April 2015)
These recommendations pick up the European Standard published in 2004 entitled ‘Rules for the improvement of safety of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts’ (BS EN 81-80). Recognising that many lifts in service are between 20 and 40 years old. Based upon risk assessment, it gives guidance to lift owners on a number of features for which there should be regard when reviewing the safety of lift installations.
