Lift & Elevator: Maintenance, Repair, Inspection & Testing
Course Preamble
This program is specifically customized for individuals with little or no lift & elevator experience, particularly those responsible for facilities design, facilities management, maintenance management, and inspections. It serves as a refresher course and provides a deeper understanding of lift & elevator systems.
The content focuses on essential lift & elevator knowledge and concepts, with the primary goal of addressing the operation, maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing of lifts & elevators. The increasing number of lift and escalator incidents highlights the need for greater awareness and training in maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing.
Course Objective
The main objective of this course is to provide participants with knowledge on the operation, maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing of lifts & elevators. Additionally, the course imparts basic technical knowledge and skills in lift and elevator engineering, broadening participants’ understanding of lift management through academic and practical training.
By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with fundamental technical knowledge and skills on lift engineering to engage lift workers on maintenance projects, including:
- Planning and selecting equipment for lifts
- Describing the components of lifts
- Interpreting and applying inspection & functional test compliance
- Interpreting and applying periodic maintenance and examination compliance
- Applying energy efficiency principles for lifts
