This risk assessment covers elevator installation activities, including planning, delivery, shaft access, component placement, electrical work and commissioning support. It supports planning and managing hazards from falls, lifting, electrical systems, restricted spaces, tools and shared work areas.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan site reviews, work sequencing and coordination
Deliver, unload and move elevator materials
Access shafts, openings and elevated work areas
Lift, rig and position elevator components
Work in plant rooms, shafts and restricted spaces
Install, test and energise electrical equipment
Use tools, plant and temporary equipment
Manage dust, hazardous substances and legacy building materials
Coordinate with other trades and control public access
Support inspection, commissioning and emergency readiness

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out elevator installation activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Planning, site review and coordination	Unidentified shaft, plant room or landing hazards Conflicting trades and uncontrolled access to work areas Incorrect sequencing creating exposure to falls, dropped objects or plant interaction Emergency arrangements not understood by workers
Delivery, unloading and material movement	Workers struck by moving vehicles, forklifts or suspended loads Crush injuries during unloading or shifting lift rails, doors, machines and panels Unstable loads or poor stacking causing collapse Manual handling strains from awkward or heavy components
Shaft access, openings and work at height	Falls into open shafts or from landing edges Falls from ladders, temporary platforms or elevated work areas Dropped tools or materials striking persons below Unsafe access or egress during installation
Lifting, rigging and placement of elevator components	Suspended loads falling or swinging Crush or pinch injuries during positioning of rails, machines, doors or car components Failure of lifting gear or incorrect rigging Workers entering line-of-fire zones during lifts
Plant room, shaft and restricted-space work	Restricted movement causing slips, trips and musculoskeletal injury Entrapment or delayed evacuation from shaft or plant room areas Poor ventilation, heat or airborne contaminants in enclosed areas Inadequate communication with workers outside the area
Electrical installation, testing and energisation	Electric shock from live parts, damaged leads or incorrect isolation Arc flash or burns during testing or fault finding Unauthorised energisation while workers are in contact with equipment Use of conductive tools or personal items near energised parts
Tools, plant and temporary equipment use	Injury from defective power tools, portable equipment or temporary power Noise, vibration and flying particles Entanglement, cuts or contact injuries Trip hazards from leads, hoses and scattered equipment
Hazardous substances, dust and legacy building materials	Exposure to dust, fumes, sealants, oils or cleaning chemicals Disturbance of asbestos-containing materials in older buildings Gas cylinder leaks or poor storage where welding or heating is involved Skin or eye contact with hazardous substances
Interaction with other trades and public areas	Unauthorised entry into shaft, landing or lifting areas Workers or occupants struck by materials, doors, tools or moving plant Miscommunication during shared access, shutdowns or testing Removal or bypassing of barriers by others
Inspection, commissioning support and emergency readiness	Unexpected movement of elevator equipment during testing or adjustment Workers exposed to live systems or moving components during fault rectification Inadequate response to falls, electrical incidents or entrapment Failure to identify defects before handover or further work
