Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998(LOLER)
Did you know your vehicle Tail Lifts are due an ‘MOT’ type inspection every 6 months, and that it is a Legal Requirement ??
These Regulations (often abbreviated to LOLER) place duties on people and companies who own, operate or have control over lifting equipment. This includes all businesses and organisations whose employees use lifting equipment, whether owned by them or not.
LOLER also requires that all equipment used for lifting is fit for purpose, appropriate for the task, suitably marked and, in many cases, subject to statutory periodic ‘thorough examination’. Records must be kept of all thorough examinations and any defects found must be reported to both the person responsible for the equipment and the relevant enforcing authority.
