What LOLER means
What is LOLER testing?
LOLER stands for the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. For patient lifting equipment, the inspection is a thorough examination to help confirm whether the equipment can continue to be used safely.
For lifting equipment used to lift people, thorough examination is normally required every six months, unless a competent person has specified a different written scheme of examination.
Important distinction
Inspection is not the same as servicing
LOLER inspection checks safety and compliance. Servicing helps maintain performance, reliability and function. Many care providers benefit from combining both into one planned visit where appropriate.
