Do I have a responsibility for passengers trapped in my lift?

May 26, 2021

Yes, you are responsible for any passenger(s) trapped in your lift and you are required to have an emergency plan in place. For this reason all lifts should be fitted with a two-way communication system – that meets with European Standards EN81-80 regulations, and you should have a current lift service contract in place – that includes a 24/7 365 day emergency call out service.

If you do not currently have an emergency call out service contract in place, then please call us and we will be happy to assist you further.
