LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Bridlington

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

Bridlington works to the rhythm of its seasons: machinery building and food production running all year, and a coastal economy whose kit is laid up each winter. LOLER 1998 has a rule for exactly that: examine before equipment returns to use.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Bridlington businesses

Lifting equipment around the town spans its year round plants, fork trucks and hoists in the machinery and food operations, and its seasonal side, the lifts, hoists and handling kit of the visitor economy that work hard for months and stand idle for more. Every item, constant or seasonal, sits within LOLER's scope.

Layup is harder on lifting gear than work is. Months of standing let moisture into chains and ropes, seals dry, brakes bind, and the first lift of the season is the riskiest of the year, which is why LOLER requires thorough examination before equipment returns to service after a period out of use. We plan pre-season examinations into the calendar so everything wakes up examined, certified and ready for the first day it is needed.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Bridlington?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Bridlington and the sites around it, examining year round and seasonal lifting alike. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Bridlington?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Bridlington 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.
