In Singapore, the need for Lift maintenance has increased tremendously throughout the year. With the recent multiple cases of lift/escalators incidents raises the awareness of the public and voices were heard to impose and upgrade the system performance and safety. This has led BCA to impose more stringent regulation for maintenance and inspection of lifts.
In order to maintain the safety of the public, the Authorities, Lift industries and Education Institutes must work together to provide relevant trainings to the Lift personnel in order to upgrade, update and create awareness in the trade so as to maintain the integrity of this industry and to protect the general publics that uses the products.
