GenInv – Health and Wellness

The health and safety of a passenger lift or elevator is paramount to everyone who is involved, from the installation companies, the maintenance businesses and the passengers who use them.

In order to promote this secure mode of elevation, The European Elevator Association was formed. This organisation was designed to create a forum in which those involved in the elevation business can exchange ideas and discuss latest innovations and quality issues. This elevator-related sector must en

sure that latest safety laws and initiatives are adhered to and by joining an expert community helps ensure that the latest news on statutory requirements regarding lifts can be shared and discussed.

Having a European based association enables differences in law between the various countries to be examined. This information can be invaluable if a company based in the United Kingdom, for instance, secures a contract to install lifts in another EU country where safety rules and instillation guide

s may vary slightly from the UK methodologies. This type of discourse may also help maintenance companies develop a set of similar technical records and services provided which can be accessed by their various clients.

This uniformity of record keeping and delivery of services can help maintain a high standard of services provided and can create a professionalism which will benefit the sector as a whole. With a European based company, members can help lobby various governments to help protect a

nd enhance the legislation which relates to the safety of lifts and elevator installations. Petitioning for minimum standards of safety helps create an environment which is safe for the public and creates a kudos and respectability for the elevation sector. Here at Elevation Lifts we can provide a range of maintenance and safety checks which ensure that an elevator is safe and hazard-free at a standard that meets all latest legislative requirements.
