LOLER
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations
Q
What is LOLER and why is it Important?
LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) is a key UK safety regulation designed to ensure that lifting equipment, such as cherry pickers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and other MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms), is safe for use.
Under LOLER, businesses and equipment owners are legally required to have their lifting equipment thoroughly examined at regular intervals by a competent person to prevent accidents, improve workplace safety, and maintain compliance with health and safety laws.
Q
Who Needs a LOLER Inspection?
If you own, lease, or operate any lifting equipment used for work purposes, you are responsible for ensuring it undergoes LOLER inspections at least every six months for lifting people and every 12 months for lifting equipment and accessories.
This applies to businesses across multiple industries, including construction, warehousing, logistics, agriculture, and manufacturing.
Q
What Does a LOLER Inspection Cover?
A LOLER thorough examination assesses key safety aspects, including:
Structural integrity of the equipment
Functionality of lifting mechanisms and safety features
Inspection of hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical components
Compliance with LOLER 1998 and other relevant HSE (Health and Safety Executive) regulations
Identification of wear, damage, or faults that could impact safety
Following an inspection, a LOLER report is issued detailing the condition of your access platform and any necessary repairs or maintenance.
