Human Factors Lead to Lift Accidents in High-Rise Residential Buildings
Abstract Lifts widely used as vertical transportation in high-rise buildings. Lift accident cases are increasing every year, giving a negative impact to building occupants in terms of their confidence in using lift system. To uncover the key lift accident factors, this paper identifies various human factors of lift system accident in buildings. This study used frequency analysis by extracting lift accident factors from 25 research articles and a total of 20 factors was found. The key factors identified based on matrix table were; fail to allocate sufficient maintenance budget (f = 10), poor maintenance workmanship due to lack of skills (f = 6), refuse to pay maintenance fees (f = 6), vandalism (f = 6), poor maintenance workmanship due to lack of knowledge (f = 6) and replace components with low-quality spare parts during maintenance (f = 6). Through identifying the key factors, the lift accidents can be avoided. This will benefit building maintenance managers, lift technicians and building occupants towards effective preventive maintenance, reliability and safety of the lift system.
