Deaths and injuries in the workplace are still a continuing problem in every industrialized nation. To ensure safer conditions for workers who are in contact with high risk
equipment demands strict controls. Installations need to be checked regularly. Indeed, it is the only way to ensure that installations comply with regulations, thus minimizing risk.
Lifts are the most common means of transport in the world. Over the last few decades, safety at the design stage has been constantly improving. Older installations that have not been modernized may still present risks since they were built to follow design and safety standards that are now out-of-date. To minimize risk and comply with regulations, lift installations need to be checked regularly.
Machines experience natural wear that can lead to all kinds of accidents or incidents. Signs of wear include seizing, specks, abrasion, flaking, distortion, fatigue and corrosion. They can all contribute to an increase in risk of catastrophe. From the design stage through to everyday use, operator safety is a key priority. The complexity of many machines means that only highly qualified and multi-skilled inspectors can perform inspections effectively.
This is a range of services designed to help manufacturers achieve compliance with the EU 95/16/EC directive. Bureau Veritas has all the necessary resources and notifications to cover the whole conformity assessment process as specified by the European lift directive. This includes support for
quality assurance methods and assistance in achieving the certification, as well as verification of lifts and related equipment in the locations where they need to be assembled.
