Code Of Practice On The Design And Construction Of Lifts And Escalators ((better))

Lifts (elevators) and escalators are essential components of modern infrastructure, providing vertical transportation in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Due to the significant mechanical and electrical hazards associated with their operation, their design and construction are governed by stringent Codes of Practice. These codes ensure the safety of passengers and maintenance personnel while guaranteeing reliability and accessibility.

The primary objective of the Design Code is to minimize risks to life and limb for passengers and workers alike. It achieves this by: Lifts (elevators) and escalators are essential components of
