📘 What Is LOLER?

LOLER stands for the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, part of the UK's workplace safety law under the Health and Safety at Work Act.

LOLER ensures that any lifting equipment used in the workplace is:

• Strong, stable, and well maintained

• Installed and positioned correctly

• Used only by trained and competent individuals

• Thoroughly inspected on a regular basis

If your business lifts or lowers loads — LOLER likely applies to you.

Our LOLER inspection includes:

• Review of safe working load (SWL) markings

• Inspection of accessories like slings, chains, or shackles

• Maintenance record checks

• Full LOLER report issued upon completion

All inspections are carried out by qualified engineers and meet current UK regulations.
