Escalator Compliance App gives escalator compliance a defensible audit trail. Every check is timestamped, photo-backed, and aligned to EN 115 escalator safety and statutory examination schedule, so an auditor sees proof in seconds instead of days. Managers see live escalator compliance status and upcoming statutory due dates across every site.
Escalator Compliance App evidences escalator compliance check covering step and step-band condition, comb plate and comb impact switch, handrail speed and grip, skirt panels and skirt brushes, and main and auxiliary brake test, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, escalator findings live on paper and in chat. An escalator fault such as damaged or missing comb teeth slips through. An audit then means rebuilding escalator evidence from folders.
Escalator Compliance App keeps one record per escalator and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each escalator finding is tracked to verified closure. Lift and escalator engineers see escalator completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every escalator record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in an Escalator Compliance App?
A comprehensive escalator inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Track escalator compliance with statutory inspection and AMC records, evidence capture, and audit-ready records. Your inspection should include sections for step and step-band condition, comb plate and comb impact switch, and handrail speed and grip, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Escalator Compliance App
Compliance evidence is only useful if it is complete and retrievable. Follow these steps for each compliance check:
Open the escalator compliance template, mapped to EN 115 escalator safety and statutory examination schedule.
Check each requirement against the escalator and capture photo evidence as proof.
Record the date, location, and inspector identity on every submission.
Raise a corrective action for any gap and track it to verified closure.
Sign off. The record is stored and exportable as an audit-ready PDF.
What Does an Escalator Compliance Check Cover?
Escalator compliance evidences the required checks on step and step-band condition, comb plate and comb impact switch, handrail speed and grip, skirt panels and skirt brushes, main and auxiliary brake test, and emergency stops and access covers. The photos each escalator rule expects are mandatory fields. Escalator renewals are flagged before they lapse. So escalator compliance stays a documented fact, not an assurance.

What Escalator Teams Fix When Compliance Evidence Lives in One Place
Escalator work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Escalator Compliance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
The escalator report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting escalator photos, notes, and compliance check records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the escalator data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Escalator reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads escalator data that is already days old
Every escalator report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded escalator reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled escalator reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent escalator report format across the estate
When an auditor asks for escalator records, the team scrambles
An auditor visits and asks for proof of the last six escalator checks. The records are spread across phones, drives, and a filing cabinet. Compliance is a feeling, not a fact.
Problem
Escalator evidence scattered across phones and drives
No quick way to prove an escalator check was done
Escalator statutory due dates discovered after they pass
Solution
One structured record per check, mapped to EN 115 escalator safety and statutory examination schedule
Audit-ready escalator PDF export in seconds, not days
Escalator due dates and overdue checks flagged in advance
Lift OEM and service partner signs off the escalator fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the escalator is handed to lift OEM and service partner. A week later the escalator defect is marked closed. Whether the escalator work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Lift OEM and service partner marks work closed with no verification
Poor escalator fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which escalator partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any escalator action is signed off
Lift OEM and service partner performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened escalator actions linked back to the original finding
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Escalator Compliance App cover in an escalator compliance check?
Escalator Compliance App keeps escalator compliance current by evidencing step and step-band condition, comb plate and comb impact switch, handrail speed and grip, skirt panels and skirt brushes, and main and auxiliary brake test. The photos each rule expects are mandatory fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. Renewals and statutory due dates are flagged before they lapse. If a check fails, the template opens its follow-up questions and requires photo evidence, so every gap is documented on the spot rather than reconstructed later from memory.
Which escalator defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The compliance check targets the escalator failures that matter most: damaged or missing comb teeth, handrail speed mismatch, worn skirt brushes and gaps, and brake performance loss. Left unchecked, a fault such as damaged or missing comb teeth can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so lift and escalator engineers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Escalator Compliance App support for escalator work?
Escalator Compliance App keeps escalator checks aligned to EN 115 escalator safety and statutory examination schedule. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, lift and escalator engineers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run escalator checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Escalator Compliance App is offline-first: teams complete escalator checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So lift and escalator engineers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves an escalator compliance check was completed?
Every completed escalator compliance check carries comb plate photo, brake test record, and emergency stop test note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, lift and escalator engineers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
