LOLER 1998 · Nottinghamshire

LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Worksop

Thorough examination, testing and certification of lifting equipment by an independent competent person

Worksop's sheds and factories keep the country fed and supplied: food production, polymers, cocoa processing and the distribution fleets around the A57 and A1. LOLER 1998 keeps a calendar for all that lifting, and certain events reset it early.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Worksop businesses

Lifting equipment across the town runs from the fork lift and reach truck fleets of the distribution operations, through overhead cranes and hoists in the manufacturing units around Claylands Avenue and the wider estates, to the goods lifts, scissor tables and accessory registers behind them all.

The examination calendar is not the whole law. LOLER also requires thorough examination after the reset events: significant repair, modification, damage, or any exceptional circumstance liable to affect safety, a truck that hit the racking, a hoist back from the repairer, a crane that weathered a jammed load. Waiting for the diary date after one of those is a gap an investigator will find. We handle both rhythms, the scheduled cycle and the event-driven examination that gets equipment provably safe and back to work fast.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Worksop?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Worksop and the sites around it, examining scheduled cycles and post-repair examinations alike. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Worksop?
We keep availability across Nottinghamshire, so a Worksop visit is usually within a couple of working days, sooner when equipment is needed back in service. Call 0330 043 8191 to book around your operations.
How often must lifting equipment be thoroughly examined?
At least every 6 months for equipment that lifts people and for all lifting accessories, and at least every 12 months for other lifting equipment, or to an examination scheme set by a competent person. Those intervals are legal maximums, and an examination is also due after any exceptional event such as an overload or major repair; the HSE sets this out in its LOLER guidance.
Is LOLER a legal requirement?
Yes. Under LOLER 1998 the duty holder must ensure lifting equipment is thoroughly examined by a competent person and is not used once its examination has lapsed, and that responsibility stays with you even when the work is outsourced.
Do you load-test our lifting equipment every time?
No. LOLER calls for thorough examination, with testing only where it is necessary, and the HSE advises against routine overload testing because it can damage sound equipment. We test only where the examination genuinely requires it.
Who counts as a competent person for LOLER?
Someone with the practical and theoretical knowledge and experience to find defects and judge their significance, and who is sufficiently independent and impartial to report without pressure. The HSE is clear this should not be the person who maintains the same equipment.
What is a LOLER certificate, and how long do I keep it?
It is the Report of Thorough Examination required by Regulation 10, recording each item's condition, any defect found and its category, and the date the next examination is due. Keep it at least until the next examination, and it is this report an inspector or insurer asks to see.
Does lifting equipment also fall under PUWER?
Yes. LOLER covers the lifting duties while PUWER covers the same item as work equipment more generally, so the two overlap. We sort each item to the right regime so nothing is missed or examined twice over.
