The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998
Safe lifting operations depend on the integrity of the lifting equipment and accessories that are used. Whether this be a passenger lift in an office, a tower crane on a construction site or any other item of plant or machinery that lifts, lowers or supports a load. The responsibility for this safety is on the owner and the user of the equipment and part of their duty under LOLER reg 9 is to have it independently examined and this will produce the report of thorough examination.
