The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) are a set of regulations created under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 which came into force in Great Britain on 5 December 1998 and replaced a number of other pieces of legislation which previously covered the use of lifting equipment. 


Regulation 9 of LOLER requires periodic thorough examination to be carried out by a "competent, impartial person" at an interval of either 6 or 12 months and this is where we can help.

Lifting Gear and
Accessories

Lifting accessories are loose items of lifting equipment usually are used between the load and crane unit. Common items include Shackles, Eyebolts, Chains, Slings and Chain blocks. These require an inspection interval of 6 months.

Plant and
Machinery 

If a piece of plant is used to lift or lower a load it will then be covered under the regulations of LOLER 98. Plant machinery we regularly inspect include Forklifts, Telehandlers, Excavators, Tail Lifts and Lorry Mounted Cranes. The inspection intervals for plant vary from 6 – 12 months depending if it is used to lift a person.

Fall Protection
and Rope Access

With a crossover between the regulations of LOLER 98 and Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 92 all Fall Protection and Rope Access equipment must receive a thorough examination at least every 6 months.
