If you're responsible for managing a building with passenger lifts, BS 7255:2023 is a standard you need to understand.

Many people assume lift safety begins and ends with a maintenance contract.

It doesn't.

BS 7255:2023 provides guidance on the safe working of permanently installed lifts and sets out best practice for everyone involved in their management, maintenance and operation.

The standard places particular emphasis on:
✔️ Safe access to lift machinery spaces, pits and wells
✔️ Competence and training for anyone working on or around lifts
✔️ Safe passenger release procedures
✔️ Managing unsafe lifts and returning them to service following repairs or alterations

This isn't guidance aimed exclusively at lift engineers.

It's relevant to estate managers, facilities teams, housing providers, responsible persons and anyone with responsibility for passenger lifts within a building.

Ask yourself:
• Have your passenger release procedures been reviewed?
• Are designated staff appropriately trained?
• Is lift-related documentation current and accessible?
• Are your existing procedures aligned with current guidance?

Understanding BS 7255:2023 won't just help you improve compliance. It will help you create safer working practices, reduce risk and ensure your lifts are managed effectively.

If you'd like to review your current procedures or arrange lift safety training, contact Rise Compliance today.

If you’re responsible for lifts in a healthcare environment, are you confident you understand your legal and operational responsibilities?

Many estates and facilities professionals work with lifts every day, yet the role of the Authorised Person (AP) is often misunderstood.

HTM 08-02 Authorised Person Training has been developed specifically for professionals working within healthcare environments, providing the knowledge needed to manage lift operations safely and compliantly.

The course is ideal for:
• Estates managers
• Facilities managers
• Lift installers
• Maintenance contractors
• Engineering consultants

Participants will develop a clear understanding of:
✔️ Current legislation and regulatory requirements
✔️ Safe working practices
✔️ Lift inspections
✔️ Risk identification and mitigation
✔️ Passenger release procedures

The training also covers key guidance and legislation, including the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations, the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations, the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Lift Regulations 2016, BS 7255 and Safety Assessment Federation guidance.

In healthcare environments, lift safety isn’t just about compliance. It’s about ensuring essential equipment remains safe, reliable and available for the patients, staff and visitors who depend on it every day.

Book your HTM 08-02 Authorised Person Training with Rise Compliance today and ensure your team has the knowledge and confidence to fulfil this critical role.

This tiny phone line could shut down your lift in 2027.

Most people know the UK is moving from traditional copper phone lines to digital technology.

What many building managers, estate managers and NHS estates don't realise is that many lift emergency communication systems still rely on those old analogue lines.

By January 2027, the PSTN network will be switched off.

If your lift auto-dialler hasn't been upgraded, pressing the emergency alarm button may no longer connect a trapped passenger to a rescue service.

This isn't a telecommunications issue.

It's a lift safety and compliance issue.

We're telling all our clients about this because too many buildings still haven't reviewed their lift emergency communication systems.

Ask yourself:

➡️ How many lifts do you manage?
➡️ Which ones still rely on analogue phone lines?
➡️ Have they been assessed for the digital switch?

If you don't know the answer, now is the time to check.

Don't wait until 2027.

Contact Rise Compliance to arrange an emergency lift communication review.

If you manage a building with passenger lifts, BS 7255:2023 should already be on your radar. If you’re unsure whether your current procedures align with BS 7255:2023, contact Rise Compliance for advice.

Passenger release isn’t something you can improvise when someone becomes trapped in a lift.

Having the right procedures in place and ensuring staff are properly trained can make all the difference when a passenger needs assistance.

Our HTM 08-02 Lift Passenger Release Warden Training is designed to give Lift Release Wardens and other designated staff the knowledge and practical skills needed to safely release trapped passengers from lifts.

Delivered on site, the course combines hands-on training with the theory needed to carry out passenger releases safely, efficiently and in line with current guidance.

This training is particularly valuable for:
• Estate managers
• Building managers
• Facilities teams
• Housing providers
• NHS estates

Participants will learn how to:
✔️ Understand relevant standards and legislation
✔️ Safely release trapped passengers in accordance with BS 7255 and HTM 08-02
✔️ Work effectively with other personnel during passenger releases
✔️ Apply escalation procedures when necessary
✔️ Leave the lift installation in a safe condition

Passenger release should only ever be carried out by trained and competent personnel.

If your team is responsible for passenger release procedures, now is the time to ensure they’re fully prepared.

Contact Rise Compliance to arrange your HTM 08-02 Lift Passenger Release Warden Training.
