Working in lift shafts entails high risks. The Construction Industry Council (CIC) of Hong Kong is committed to seeking continuous improvement in assuring safety of lift shaft works. To achieve this aim, CIC forms a Task Force to review this high-risk activity with industry practitioners and stakeholders, comprising government regulators, employers, contractors, safety practitioners, and frontline workers etc. to develop and publicize the good practices, after research and debate, and then promulgate them in the form of Guidelines. This paper highlights CIC's Guidelines, comprehensively covering various stages of lift shaft works in four volumes as follows - · Volume 1: During Construction Stage and Before Handing Over to Lift Installation Contractor (July 2010); · Volume 2: During Lift Installation Stage until Issue of Occupation Permit and Handing Over to Developer (January 2012); · Volume 3: Throughout Occupation Stage of Building (November 2013); · Volume 4: Builders' Lift within Lift Shaft (December 2016). These Guidelines assist participants in the industry to strive for excellence in assuring safety of lift shaft works in Hong Kong.
