Release of Trapped Passengers

At techmend.io, we provide expert lift rescue services in Essex to quickly and safely free passengers who become trapped in lifts. Our team is fully trained and experienced in the latest safety procedures, ensuring peace of mind for property owners, managers, and building users.

What is the Release of Trapped Passengers?

The release of trapped passengers is a specialised service for safely freeing people who are stuck in lifts due to mechanical faults or other issues. While these situations are rare, they require a calm, professional, and competent response to ensure everyone’s safety and minimise distress.

Why is This Service Important?

  • Safety First: Trapped passengers are not usually in immediate danger, but only trained and approved personnel should attempt to release them. Untrained attempts can put both the rescuer and passengers at risk.

  • Legal Compliance: UK regulations, including BS7255, HTM 08-02, and LOLER, require that only competent, approved staff carry out passenger releases.

  • Minimising Disruption: Our rapid response means less downtime for your lift and a smoother experience for your building’s occupants.

How Does the Release Process Work?

Our service follows strict safety protocols and industry best practices:

  • Immediate Notification: As soon as you report a trapped passenger, our team is alerted and dispatched.

  • On-Site Assessment: We assess the situation and ensure all safety measures are in place before starting the release.

  • Safe Release: Using the correct tools and procedures, we safely open the lift doors and guide passengers out.

  • Reassurance: Throughout the process, we keep passengers calm and informed.

  • Post-Release Checks: After releasing the passengers, we check the lift to ensure it is safe to use or arrange for any necessary repairs.

Who Can Use This Service?

Our release of trapped passengers service is designed for property owners, building managers, and facilities teams who need a reliable, professional response to lift entrapments. We act as your approved lift rescue provider, ensuring you meet all legal and safety requirements.

Why Choose techmend.io?
