Emergency LOLER Inspections

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) requires that all lifts are fit for purpose, appropriate for the task, suitably marked, and subject to statutory periodic ‘thorough inspections’.

LOLER requires duty holders to ensure their lifts are thoroughly inspected at regular intervals.

Unfortunately, it may not always be possible for an inspector to complete their examination on the planned date if the lift is out of service, or unavailable at the time.

In this scenario, ILECS are able to attend site to conduct a thorough examination of your lifting equipment at short notice, ensuring that you remain compliant with your legal responsibilities.

What is LOLER?

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, commonly referred to as LOLER, are essential regulations in the UK that focus on the safety and maintenance of lifting equipment. LOLER requires duty holders to ensure that their lifting equipment is safe to use, properly marked, and regularly inspected by a competent person.

What’s the difference between a LOLER inspection and an emergency LOLER inspection?

There is essentially no difference between a standard LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspection and an emergency LOLER inspection.

We use the term “emergency” to describe situations where there is an immediate and pressing need for a LOLER inspection to be carried out urgently. This typically arises when the LOLER inspector is unable to attend or the lift is out of service at the time of their visit, and they are unable to return to complete the inspection at short notice.

In such cases, an emergency LOLER inspection can be commissioned to ensure the continued safety and compliance of lifting operations.
