Elevating Safety Solutions is thrilled to announce a partnership with LiftSafe, the lift engineer’s database. This collaboration unites two companies with a shared goal – to improve health and safety across the lift industry. Together, ESS and LiftSafe will offer clients a more streamlined approach to managing compliance, while ensuring employees have the right skills to carry out their work safely and effectively.
What is LiftSafe?
LiftSafe is a specialist database of lift engineers, designed to help lift companies and contractors quickly find qualified subcontractors. The platform lists a wide range of services, covering all key aspects of lift installation and maintenance projects from installation and labour-only engineers to supporting roles such as scaffolders and electrical engineers.
Each engineer on LiftSafe is independently verified and audited, based on both individual and company qualifications, to ensure they meet industry training and compliance standards. These qualifications are visible on the platform, allowing lift companies and contractors to easily select the right professionals for a job.
Under ISO 9001, lift companies and contractors are required to manage and monitor their subcontractors to ensure legal and regulatory compliance. LiftSafe’s auditing process and ongoing compliance checks help ensure all members remain qualified and up-to-date with training and insurances, making it easier for companies to stay compliant with ISO 9001 requirements.
What the partnership delivers?
- Access to training – Engineers receive alerts about expiring or missing certifications and are guided to the appropriate training paths via ESS.
- Member offers – LiftSafe members will be informed of exclusive discount offers on training courses on the ESS website.
- Enhanced workforce quality – By combining compliance services, industry-specific training and engineer management, companies can ensure they meet legal requirements, and ensure their workforce are competent.
- Industry updates – The ESS and LiftSafe partnership provides ongoing updates on safety regulations, training standards, and key developments within the lift industry.
Stewart Proctor, founder of both Elevating Safety Solutions and LiftSafe, says, “When I launched Elevating Safety Solutions in 2008, my goal was to support lift companies with their ISO and compliance requirements. Over time, the platform has grown to offer a full range of training specifically for the lift industry.
The concept behind LiftSafe had been in my mind for some time, but it’s only in the last two years that it became a reality. While Elevating Safety Solutions and LiftSafe have operated as two separate businesses, they share the same goal – to promote a safer working environment across the industry.
By streamlining services and cross-promoting the platforms, we’re able to offer a complete solution that ticks all the boxes the industry needs — training, compliance, and engineer management.”
