Electricians
There are sixteen lifts within the General Hospital and Administration
block, most of which are passenger lifts. In the picture below there are
two bed lifts on the right and three passenger lifts on the left (although
only one is in view).
Lifts on the Maternity floor
Electricians perform routine maintenance on most of these lifts and are
required to occasionally fix them but when a fault is so bad that it cannot
be fixed, specialists from the lift manufacturer must be called in to
get the lift working as quickly as possible. Some electricians are sent
to the mainland on special lift maintenance and repair courses but even
with this limited training, sometimes it is not enough as there may not
even be the necessary parts such as main boards available in order to
effect the repair.
Again, as with automatic doors, lifts are a convenience but can also be
lifesaving if, for instance, a patient on a stretcher with severe spinal
injuries needs to get to Intensive Care which is on the second floor of
the 'Sixties Wing'.
