For the elevator and escalator industry
”Welcome to an industry with cohesion!
The Swedish Elevator Association has been the Swedish trade association for companies that manufacture, install and maintain elevators and escalators since 1992. The member companies represent over 80% of the Swedish industry.
Here you will find information about regulations, statistics and safety for those working in the elevator and escalator industry.
The important knowledge sharing
Knowledge sharing is important for several reasons. Together we can ensure continuous improvement in the safety, efficiency and reliability of elevators and escalators. As a member company, you are encouraged to report accidents and incidents on an ongoing basis and at least once a year via INSTA500. Knowledge sharing within the industry takes place within the framework of the Technology and Safety Committee.
Safety with the European Lift Association
To promote safety in the lift industry in Europe, the European Lift Association, ELA, has produced the safety brochure “Basic safety principles for lifts” including comprehensive working material for companies’ safety work. The material is complemented by a film on lift safety.

Skills development – the importance of learning through professional life
The Swedish Elevator Association arranges courses and training to support the employees of member companies in their skills development. Examples of recurring training:
Safety First for supervisors who can pass on the knowledge within their companies and go through the risks involved in working with elevators and escalators. Participants also gain knowledge about safe working methods, the responsibilities of supervisors and how good work is ensured through, for example, risk assessment, training and safety rounds.
Construction law for everyone in the construction sector who needs basic knowledge of construction law and provides course participants with basic construction law knowledge to be able to monitor your company's rights and obligations.
Fire protection and elevators for people working in the elevator industry who want to update themselves on fire safety requirements. The course aims to improve the design and construction control of modernized elevators and improve the participants' understanding of fire safety.
BAS training which is aimed at those who will be construction work environment coordinators (BAS). Participants will gain the knowledge required to work as a BAS in a construction and civil engineering project, along with an understanding of the construction process and knowledge of work environment issues and risk assessment.
Working in vulnerable areas for elevator technicians, supervisors, inspectors or similar who are affected by the problem of working with insecurity in vulnerable areas.
