The purpose of this Short Learning Programme (SLP) is to enable participants to develop an understanding of foundational knowledge of legislative and regulatory requirements for lift inspections and assist candidates to meet the knowledge criteria required by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) to register as a Registered Lift Inspector (RLI).
To ensure that lifts, escalators, and passenger conveyors are maintained and safe for use, South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) accredited Inspection Service Providers (who employ Registered Lift Inspectors as per regulation 9) are required to inspect such equipment regularly according to the OHS Act and regulations. ECSA implemented requirements for the registration of such inspectors and approached Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) to design an SLP to address the theoretical knowledge requirements for the registration of Lift Inspectors.
This SLP is recognised by ECSA who will oversee the registration of Lift Inspectors as per agreement in a Memorandum of Understanding with the Engineering Council of South Africa Lift Inspectors Registration Committee (LIRC).
Participants registering must have a prior qualification of at least NQF level 4
