Understanding Your Legal Requirements
The specific set of regulations that operators need to be aware of is the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER). These regulations require that:
- All lifting equipment is thoroughly examined before being used for the first time and at set intervals throughout its life (please note that the inspection carried out when a device is initially installed is particularly important, as a check is made on the stability and security of the mountings in an overload situation)
- Records are kept of the examinations
- Maintenance is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
- You only purchase equipment that carries the CE / UKCA mark
- Equipment is only used for its intended use
- Lifting operations are planned and their risks assessed
- Operators are trained and competent
We’ve Got You Covered
