What is Lift Cert ISO 45001?
Lift Cert ISO 45001 is a global standard for health and safety in lift manufacture, installation and servicing. It is assessed by highly qualified, specialist auditors in the lift industry who require companies to adhere to strict safety rules.
The certification is operated by Lift Cert Ltd, an approved body under the Lifts Regulations 2016, and is backed by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service to review and approve certifications.
Why is ISO 45001 so important for lifts?
Safety is bound up in every aspect of the lift industry, and the key focus of the ISO 45001 accreditation is to align with International Standards for Organizations in occupational health and safety management.
It is a safety framework to enable organisations to minimise risks and improve safety performance in their work. Core elements of the ISO 45001 certification include:
- Health and safety policy implementation
- Leadership and worker engagement in safety processes
- Identifying hazards and assessing risks
- Compliance with regulations and government legislation for the industry
- Emergency and contingency planning
- Reacting to and investigating incidents
- Implementation of continuous improvement across the organisation
KEP Lift is proud to have achieved the ISO 45001 accreditation and will continue our record of safely designing and delivering excellent lift and platform access solutions.
