LOLER Training - Frequently Asked Questions
LOLER stands for the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998.
LOLER applies to the vast majority of lifting equipment, which is any equipment used in a workplace to lift or lower loads. The regulations also apply to any accessories used during the lifting process, such as accessories used to attach or stabilise loads.
Anyone who carries out a lifting operation must have the training and experience required to do so safely. Our LOLER certificate is ideal for anyone who regularly carries out lifting operations and requires an understanding or refresher of the requirements of LOLER to help them complete these operations safely and legally.
LOLER requires all lifting equipment to be regularly inspected, and states that:
LOLER requires any inspections to be completed by a ‘competent person’, which is described as someone who has the knowledge and experience required to successfully identify and evaluate any defects or issues that an item of lifting equipment may have.
While this training course will provide learners with an understanding of LOLER and lifting equipment generally, additional training and experience will be required in order to act as a ‘competent person’.
