This British Standard gives recommendations for safe working practices (supported by training) for:
owners of permanently installed and commissioned escalators and moving walks;
persons having effective control of the premises (duty holder) on which such escalators and moving walks are installed;
persons responsible for, and involved in, the examination, inspection, testing, service, maintenance, repair and dismantling of such escalators and moving walks.
This British Standard is applicable to persons working on all types of escalators and moving walks. However, not every recommendation is applicable for all types of escalator and moving walk that are covered by British Standards either published or in preparation.
The recommendations in this British Standard relate to the safety of persons when gaining access to and from the work areas of escalator and moving walks, and while working there. They also relate to the safety of others present in the vicinity, whether they are working or not, who could be endangered by the actions of those working on escalators and moving walks.
This British Standard does not cover the design, manufacture, construction or installation of escalators and moving walks.
