Frequently Asked Questions

How is a scheduled lift inspection different from a general inspection?

It is scoped to the scheduled cadence and controls that centre managers, facility managers, AFM and CE teams, operations directors run, not a one-off handover walk. It prompts car and doors, safety devices, machine and ropes, and signage and records, watching for mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction and dead emergency alarm, records pass, fail, or N/A with car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo on critical items, and raises corrective actions with owners before sign-off. Run in InspectWrk, the record is timestamped and rolls into trend reports so repeat failures surface before the next audit.

What do centre managers, facility managers, AFM and CE teams, operations directors check on it?

They work through each checkpoint to confirm lifts carry passengers safely with sound car, doors, and safety gear, confirm the required controls are in place, and capture car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo on anything that fails or needs proof. Priority failure modes include mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction and dead emergency alarm. Each checkpoint takes pass, fail, or N/A, and a failed item stays open until the fix is verified.

What evidence does it require?

It expects car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo, plus inspection records on failed or critical items, so findings rest on proof rather than memory. Records support OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements, and every photo, note, and sign-off stays attached to the inspection instead of living in chat threads.

What does the lift inspection checklist cover?

The lift inspection checklist covers car and doors, safety devices, machine and ropes, and signage and records. On each checkpoint, centre managers record pass, fail, or N/A, add a photo on anything that needs proof, and raise a corrective action with an owner and due date. Run in InspectWrk, the inspection is timestamped, traceable to whoever completed it, and exports as a single facilities management report aligned to OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements.

What is a lift inspection checklist?

Quick Answer

A lift inspection checklist is the structured inspection used to confirm lifts carry passengers safely with sound car, doors, and safety gear that facilities management teams use to check the key inspection points, assign owners to any failures, and close them with photo proof. Completed in InspectWrk, it is timestamped, works offline, and exports as an audit-ready facilities management report for OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements.

A lift inspection checklist is the structured inspection used to confirm lifts carry passengers safely with sound car, doors, and safety gear that facilities management teams use to check car and doors, safety devices, machine and ropes, and signage and records, capture photo evidence, and track corrective actions to closure. Its job is to confirm lifts carry passengers safely with sound car, doors, and safety gear. It replaces the paper lift inspection checklist tick sheet and the WhatsApp photo with one inspection record per scheduled round, attributed to the inspector and the site. Inspectors specifically watch for mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction and dead emergency alarm. Field language covers safety gear, levelling and LOLER exam.

Why are lift inspections still chased on WhatsApp?

Lift maintenance teams still miss mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction and dead emergency alarm when rounds are ticked without car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo.

Without inspection records, teams reconstruct the evidence from phones instead of proving OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements readiness.

Before and After InspectWrk

Before InspectWrk

  • Centre managers send daily round photos on WhatsApp at the end of the shift.
  • Lift checks are ticked on paper without photo evidence per finding.
  • Missed PPM and AMC expiry surface when a client complaint lands, not when they happened.

After InspectWrk

  • Centre managers complete the inspection in the app with photo evidence at the lift, even offline.
  • Managers see open findings, closure status, and OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements evidence live on one dashboard.
  • Overdue PPM, AMC expiry, and missed checks escalate automatically before the client or auditor notices.

Why is a lift inspection checklist important?

It helps centre managers and supervisors keep facilities management work consistent, safe, and auditable, with the evidence needed for OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements:

  • Cover the full inspection:structured checks across car and doors, safety devices, machine and ropes, and signage and records surface mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction and dead emergency alarm before they reach handover, audit, or the next shift.
  • Document facilities management findings with the right proof:capture car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo on every issue so nothing rests on memory.
  • Close facilities management issues instead of just logging them:assign corrective actions with owners and due dates, then verify the fix before sign-off.
  • Stay audit-ready:keep one timestamped record for OSHA, ISO 41001 and fire NOC and lift license requirements you can export instead of rebuilding it from scattered photos and spreadsheets.

What should be included in a lift inspection checklist?

A complete lift inspection checklist works through car and doors, safety devices, machine and ropes, and signage and records, then records inspection context, scored checkpoints, and evidence with corrective actions:

Inspection context

Record where and when the inspection runs:

  • Site, facilities management location, and asset identification
  • Inspector, date, and the facilities management areas or assets in scope
  • Reference numbers or schedules linked to the checklist

Checkpoints and scoring

Define what each checkpoint verifies and how results are scored:

  • Car and Doors
  • Safety Devices
  • Machine and Ropes
  • Signage and Records
  • 20 fields aligned to the checklist

Evidence and corrective actions

Make every finding traceable and actionable:

  • Capture car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo on failed or critical items
  • Retain inspection records with the inspection record
  • Sign-off, completion status, and follow-up notes

How do teams use a lift inspection checklist?

Follow these steps to run the lift inspection checklist:

  1. Fill in the lift header: inspector, site, date, and areas in scope.
  2. Work through car and doors, safety devices, machine and ropes, and signage and records in order, recording pass, fail, or N/A.
  3. Attach car interior photo, alarm test note and machine-room photo wherever a failure or observation needs proof.
  4. Raise actions for mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction and dead emergency alarm with owners and deadlines before sign-off.
  5. Review the lift summary, share the report, and keep the record for your audit trail.
