LOLER Inspections

Avoid not carrying out inspections of your lifts in the timeframes designated by law, by having us come to your site to examine all your lifts and lifting equipment.

First and foremost, we must indicate your statutory duty to have an in-depth examination of your lifts regularly conducted. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) explicitly stating passenger-carrying lifts need inspections done every six months and goods carrying lifts requiring the same every 12 months. In both scenarios, the outcome must result in a lift that’s safe to use.

The law makes it clear that for as a lift owner or buildings manager, you can only achieve a successful lift inspection by appointing a technician who is qualified to inspect, examine and work on lifts. It is at this point that we come on board as your trusted partner to fulfil these duties on your behalf. When working on this task, we will push towards minimising and eradicating (where possible) all risks presented to your lift’s users.

The partners we work with are all recognised by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), who oversees their competencies in conducting tests, inspections and examinations, certifying these professionals accordingly.

You should consider getting us to come in to inspect your lift if you’ve modified your lift in a significant way, or if it has recently gone through damages, a period of frequent failures or non-usage for quite some time. It’s vital to note that as long as a lift exists in a building, maintaining it is not an option but a legal obligation. To note, this is regardless of whether it’s operational or not.
