LOLER Thorough Examination
LIFT Inspection REGULATIONS: LOLER INSPECTION
A regular thorough examination is required by LOLER lifting regulations. These regulations apply to all organisations whose employees use lifting equipment whether owned by them or not. Regulations place the responsibility of ensuring a competent qualified person inspects lifts on the lift owner or site manager.
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998: LOLER THOROUGH EXAMINATION
LOLER thorough examinations or lift inspections are required by law to improve health and safety and reduce the risk of accidents due to faulty or un-serviced lifts.
Some of the LOLER lift inspection regulations include:
- Duty holders are responsible for ensuring lifts are examined at statutory intervals.
- LOLER inspections must be carried out every 6 months for passenger lifts or 12 months for goods lifts) to ensure they are safe to use.
- Lifts and hoists used to lift people or loads must be examined by a ‘competent person’.
- Any defects or faults with lifting equipment must be remedied promptly.
- Accurate records and documentation must be kept and made available.

We then immediately notify our clients of issues raised and the recommended course of action.
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998: PUWER INSPECTION
Whilst LOLER thorough examinations act in a similar way to a car MOT, PUWER inspections cover the maintenance and servicing of a lift, just like servicing a car.
Some of the PUWER regulations include:
- Placing the responsibility of maintaining machinery, such as lifting equipment, with companies who own, operate or have control over the machinery.
- Regular maintenance of work equipment to upkeep a safe condition.
- Equipment inspections to detect faults and improve health and safety.
- Proper health and safety measurements being in place in the event of equipment failure.
- Lift maintenance is restricted to those with full training and qualifications.
