Lift Emergency and Evacuation Plan for Buildings: A Simple Template

Long dark corridor with a lit ceiling and wooden floor

Every building with a lift needs a simple written emergency plan. It should be short enough that staff remember it and clear enough that residents can follow it. Here is a template you can adapt.

1. Contacts

  • Lift service company and number.
  • Building manager or security.
  • Emergency services.

2. If someone is stuck

  1. Talk to the passengers and keep them calm.
  2. Call the lift service company.
  3. Do not force doors.
  4. Wait for trained help.

3. In a power cut

Know whether you have backup power or a rescue device. See power backup and ARD.

4. In a fire

Use the stairs. See fire safety and lifts.

5. After the event

  • Record what happened.
  • Have the lift checked before reuse.
  • Review the plan.
