Our local Supermarket has a lift from the basememt car-park up to

Stuck on the wall of the lift is a paper sign giving a Phone number

This implies to me that the Emergency System is not working. I
believe the
regs say there should be a permanant means of communicating with the
rescue
service. Ones mobile phone - if it would work, does not seem to be
this solution.

Speaking to the manager he didn't seem to understand my concer and
though te phone number was the Lift engineer!

do mobiles work in metal lifts?

Doesnt with my mates, his call drops out when he
gets in the lift when talking to me on the mobile.

But presumably that varys with the lift construction.



I wanted to find if there were any exceptions - the Store Manager has
been trying to phone me - I have been on holiday. Took a look this
morning and the paper sign has gone. Hopefully he will be admitting they
had got things wrong as the responses confirm there is no "get-out" for
lifts of "pre-whatever date".
Thanks.
