Inspection of lifting devices such as elevators, cranes and escalators is a prerequisite for their safe use. Accidents are prevented annually thanks to the discovery of serious deficiencies in connection with inspections. Every year, approximately 150,000 inspections are carried out in Sweden according to the Work Environment Authority's regulations, 170,000 within the scope of the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspection activities in the lifting sector span a range of areas, from individual lifts in smaller residential buildings to large lifting devices in Turning Torso, from cranes in industrial facilities such as nuclear power plants, rock caverns or construction sites to the inspection of motorized equipment and machine-operated doors. An important issue for lifting devices, as well as other safety-critical equipment, is that the owner has control over them and that they are inspected as intended. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, which is why Swetic's technical committee Lyft regularly works to increase consensus, collaboration and discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prescribing authorities in the area include the Swedish Work Environment Authority, the Swedish Board of Housing, Building and Planning, the Swedish National Police Board, the Swedish Transport Agency and the Swedish Maritime Administration. Swetic's technical committee Lyft works to design assessment guidelines for regulations and rules in an effort to achieve equal assessment across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
