A7 SaFed Overspeed Governors Testing Checklist

by Ash Chandler, from the Community

Use this checklist to guide supplementary testing of lift overspeed governors and safety gear. Record lift details, serial numbers, governor type, and tripping speeds in meters per second. Confirm calibration, labels, and pull through force to engage safety gear. Follow OEM guidance for electronic governors. Document results and any remedial actions.

Lift Safed Checklist
This Lift Safed checklist is a comprehensive form for commissioning, inspection, and periodic testing of passenger and goods lifts. It guides technicians through earth continuity checks, electrical safety devices, terminal speed reduction, landing door interlocks, overspeed governors, safety gear (instantaneous and progressive), hydraulic systems, brakes and leveling, car/counterweight balance, and automatic doors. Record site details, lift identification, methods of test, measurements, observations, and any remedial actions required. Use it to verify compliance with OEM requirements and standards such as LOLER, document results, and capture sign-off for safer lift operations on construction and building sites.

A.8 A.9 A.10 SaFed Testing on Lift Safety Gears
This template supports supplementary testing of lift safety gear systems under SaFed guidance, covering A.8 instantaneous governor-operated safety gears, A.9 progressive types, and A.10 devices operated by other means. It outlines test objectives and methods to ensure the overspeed governor and safety gear stop the car without brake assistance, verifies mounting, settings, and the integrity of car, counterweight, guide rails and fixings, and prompts visual checks, dynamic test conditions, and documentation of results. Use it to record load, activation speed, stopping performance, observations, and recommended remedial actions, with guidance on periodic testing intervals and post-test inspections to prevent deterioration.
