Customer Feedback

Why Is LOLER Management and Inspection for Duty Holders Important?

When lifting accidents occur they often have devastating consequences due to their nature. Accidents such as the failure of the lifting equipment, falling loads and crushing incidents can easily result in injuries and death, as well as millions in property damage.

Any organisation that operates lifting equipment must take steps to minimise the risk of such accidents occurring. This is not just a legal duty, but a duty to anyone that may be impacted by their operations and the shareholders of their organisation.

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers and people who own, operate or have control over lifting equipment. This includes everything from large cranes operated on construction sites, fork trucks in warehouses and hoists used to move patients in care homes. And the duties include ensuring such equipment is suitable and adequately risk assessed, controlled, inspected and maintained.

This online course provides anyone with such duties with a greater awareness of how to ensure compliance, while ensuring the safety of their operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) Management and Inspection for Duty Holders training course is designed for individuals responsible for or nominated as duty holders to ensure compliance with this legislation. This may include:

  • Managers and supervisors
  • Health and safety managers
  • Maintenance and inspection personnel
  • Safety committee members
  • Lifting equipment operators
  • Construction and industrial worker

This LOLER Management and Inspection for Duty Holders training contains about 2.5 hours of study time, allowing for time for revision and assessment.

Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) in the UK, any equipment used at work for lifting or lowering loads, including attachments used for anchoring, fixing or supporting those loads, is subject to LOLER. This includes equipment such as:

  • Cranes
  • Hoists
  • Forklifts
  • Elevators
  • Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPS)
  • Slings
  • Shackles

The three principal aims of LOLER are:

  1. Planning and management: All lifting operations must be appropriately planned and managed to reduce the risk of accident and injury
  2. Safe use: All lifting equipment must be used safely
  3. Inspection and Maintenance: All lifting equipment must be inspected at suitable intervals and maintained.

Under the law, anyone conducting a LOLER inspection must be appropriately qualified. This means they must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to complete the inspection adequately. It’s the responsibility of the duty holder to ensure that anyone tasked with conducting such an inspection is suitably qualified and capable.

A LOLER inspection checklist is a checklist to support such an inspection, while ensuring it is recorded for compliance. A LOLER checklist includes a series of questions or items to be inspected, covering various aspects such as equipment condition, markings, certifications, operator competence, maintenance records and documentation.

Any equipment that falls under LOLER must be inspected at regular intervals by someone with the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience to ensure that it is suitable and safe. Upon completion of this inspection, a certificate should be issued by the inspector. This certificate serves as evidence of compliance with the regulations and is legally required for applicable lifting equipment.

The responsibility for LOLER inspections lies with the duty holder or employer who owns or controls the lifting equipment. They are responsible for ensuring that suitably qualified and experienced individuals, such as certified inspectors or professional engineers, conduct LOLER inspections on the lifting equipment in their organisation.
