What is PHE maintenance and why is it important?
If you use a lift with a lifting height exceeding 3 meters and intended for lifting people, your equipment is classified as dangerous equipment (PHE). This means that such equipment must be officially registered and maintained according to strict safety requirements.
What does PHE maintenance mean?
PHE maintenance is a prescribed process that includes
- Registering the equipment with the State Labour Inspectorate (VDI)
- Preparing technical inspections and documents
- Instructions for operators and safety logs
- Regular equipment maintenance
- Emergency condition assessment, if necessary
This is necessary to legally use the lift for work at height involving people.
