Firefighting Lifts & Fireman’s Lifts

More often than not, firefighting lifts and fireman’s lifts are confused with one another; however, it is important to recognise the difference between these two types of lifts and how they operate in different ways.

The S₂ Partnership has written a Briefing Note: Firefighting Lifts & Fireman’s Lifts, to help the Responsible Person(s) identify the type of lift fitted within their property and the correct testing and maintenance regimes to be adhered to. Additional information on the action to take in the event that the Responsible Person(s) is unsure as to the type of lift within their property is also provided.
