Lifts are usually categorised by risk so that planning effort matches the hazard.
- Basic — simple, repetitive lifts with a generic plan.
- Standard — lifts that need a specific plan but no unusual hazards.
- Complex or critical — tandem lifts, lifts near capacity, over occupied areas, near power lines or with high consequences of failure; these need detailed engineering and senior approval.
