Introduction

Content
Time/min

The regulations define lifting equipment as "work equipment for lifting or lowering loads
and includes its attachments used for anchoring, fixing or supporting it. Equipment covered
would include lifts, cranes, ropes, slings, hooks, shackles, eyebolts, rope and pulley systems
and forklift trucks.

A safe working load (SWL) should be marked. Accessories for lifting such as eye bolts,
40 mins lifting magnets and lifting beams should also be marked. The load itself would be based on
the maximum load that the equipment can lift safely. Lifting equipment that is designed for
lifting people must also be appropriately and clearly marked.

LOLER Inspections Every six months for lifting equipment used for lifting/lowering
persons. Every six months for lifting accessories. Every 12 months for all other lifting
equipment not falling into either of the above categories.

All equipment must be safe and suitable for purpose. The manufacturer must identify any
hazards associated with the equipment in question, they must then assess these hazards to
bring them down to acceptable levels. All personnel must be suitably trained. All

 manufacturers of lifting equipment are obliged to send out instructions for use of all
products. The employer is then obliged to make sure employees are aware of these
instructions and use the lifting equipment correctly. To achieve this the employees must be
competent. Competence is achieved through experience, technical knowledge and training.
Records must be kept for all equipment. All equipment manufactured should be given a
“birth certificate”. This should prove that when first made, it complied with any
requirement.
