Maybe, but I was comparing the situation in a typical office building,

The lift at Bermondsey is a firefighting lift.

And I'm asking you in return what is the LU/Fire Brigade policy for
dealing with obese and elderly passengers in the event of an evacuation?

My guess - the fire brigade help them up the stairs.
