Emergency Lift Breakdown

Emergency lift breakdowns can pose serious challenges for commercial properties, significantly affecting both daily operations and occupant safety. 

Situations such as visitors getting stuck in the lift or mechanical failures can lead to disruptions that may impact tenant satisfaction and overall building functionality. 

Having a clear action plan in place is crucial for property managers to ensure a swift and effective response.

Immediate Steps to Take During an Emergency Lift Breakdown

When faced with an emergency lift breakdown, building managers and commercial property owners should take the following steps:

Step #1: Assess the Situation

Quickly determine the nature of the breakdown. If individuals are trapped inside the lift, it’s important to communicate with them to ensure they remain calm and reassured.

Step #2: Contact the Emergency Lift Repair Team

Contact Robinsons Facilities Services right away to inform us of the emergency. Our LEIA-accredited engineers are prepared to respond swiftly, ensuring your lift is operational as soon as possible.

Step #3: Utilise Emergency Communication Systems

Ensure that the lift’s emergency communication system is operational. This allows trapped occupants to speak directly with staff or emergency services.

Step #4: Document the Incident

Keep a detailed record of the incident, including times, actions taken, and any communication with trapped occupants. This documentation may be important for insurance purposes and future reference.

Preventative Measures to Minimise Future Emergencies
