It’s crucial to prioritize compliance with LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations). These regulations are more than just rules; they’re a safeguard for both people and companies involved in the operation and control of lifting equipment, ranging from Platforms lifts to Passenger and Goods lifts. As a lift owner or someone overseeing its safe operation, you become a designated ‘duty holder’ under LOLER. This title comes with a legal obligation to conduct thorough examinations of the lifts and ensure their safety for use.
Can I Perform My Own LOLER Examination?
This is not advisable. For City Inspection Services Ltd, being deemed competent under LOLER entails possessing both theoretical and practical expertise in lifting equipment, enabling the individual to conduct comprehensive examinations effectively. Furthermore, impartiality and independence are crucial requirements for the competent person, ensuring that thorough examinations are conducted without bias or prejudice. This ensures the integrity and reliability of our inspection services, allowing us to uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance for our clients.
