A lift inspection is an assessment of the condition of a building’s passenger lift. A lift inspector will inspect the lift to verify that if it's working properly and safe for use. A lift inspection is typically carried out every month, but after any major alterations or repairs, an inspection should be completed immediately.

There are a few things to look for during a lift inspection. These include the following:

• The safety of the electrical system, including safety system, wiring and cables.
• Walkways should be kept clear so that there is enough space for people to move around safely.
• Aesthetics and cleanliness of the lift.
• It should also be properly maintained to ensure that it's working correctly and anyone riding in the lift will arrive at their destination without any problem.

A lift inspection and safety audit is the examination of your lift to ensure it operates safely for passengers. Generally, there will be a review of your current maintenance contract, an assessment of your current components, as well as an assessment of your lift's overall performance. If any undue damage or failure is found, there can be an audit undertaken to determine the cause or causes of said damage.

Some benefits of having a lift inspection performed are ensuring all current regulations are met, finding any faults with the lift equipment, identifying potential problems before they become serious issues, saving money by reducing wear on moving parts, and reducing the likelihood of accidents that could result in injuries or fatalities.

If you own a business with lifts, you must set up a routine maintenance schedule to reduce your risk of passenger injury. If your lift has just been serviced, you should have it inspected again after a month to ensure there are no problems. You should also have quarterly inspections.
