LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Brighouse

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

Brighouse earns its living by machining and building things, and its workshop cranes work as hard as its machines: jibs and gantries on Armytage Road lifting castings, fabrications and tooling all shift. LOLER 1998 stands behind every one of those lifts.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Brighouse businesses

Lifting equipment across the town is production kit: jib cranes and gantries over machining and fabrication bays, chain blocks and hoists at assembly stations, fork trucks moving material between the units off junction 25, and the slings, chains and eyebolts rigging every load. If it lifts, LOLER covers it.

A workshop crane that lifts every hour is not the same duty as one that lifts once a week, and LOLER lets the examination regime reflect that. Where use is heavy the competent person can set an examination scheme matched to actual duty instead of the default calendar, tightening attention on the wear that frequent lifting actually causes. We assess how your cranes really work, set the regime accordingly and issue each item its own Report of Thorough Examination with the next date fixed.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Brighouse?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Brighouse and the sites around it, examining jib cranes, hoists and hard working workshop lifting. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Brighouse?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Brighouse 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.
