LOLER Compliance
An overdue examination, missing report, equipment change or uncertainty about lifting duties can prompt review. Describe when the issue started and any change in use, operation or layout. A clear history helps distinguish a new fault from an existing limitation or a planned improvement.

Overview
For an estate instruction, list affected sites separately. One recurring symptom can have different causes on different installations, so retain the local history and restrictions.
What the work can include
Identify applicable equipment; review examination arrangements; clarify responsibilities; coordinate specialist input and remedial-action tracking. The agreed scope should state which areas or equipment are included, what is excluded and the form of the completion record.
Use asset or location references that can be matched to your existing records. This makes the findings useful for budget decisions, repeat work and subsequent inspections.
Important decisions
An examination is part of the wider arrangement, which also concerns how lifting operations are planned and carried out.
Assessment and preparation
Supply equipment lists, reports, examination schemes where used and descriptions of the lifting operations.
Name the site contact, technical approver and person who will receive the action list. Identify permit, shutdown and contractor coordination requirements before arranging attendance.
How the work proceeds
Establish the scope, identify gaps and arrange the appropriate examination or follow-up while keeping restrictions visible.
Where the work forms part of a wider programme, agree the order of sites and the route for escalating material findings. Keep partial completion visible rather than closing a whole site while actions remain open.
Cost, timing and disruption
Asset types, examination needs and operating arrangements influence the level of support. The enquiry and available records establish what can be priced directly and what needs a site assessment first.
A coordinated programme can group suitable tasks, but access windows and operational dependencies still need to be checked for each building. Agree how additional findings will be reported and priced.
Applications across sectors
Laboratories and industrial premises may have process-specific substances and equipment. Managing agents need clear landlord and occupier interfaces; education and care premises require coordination around vulnerable users. Duties and controls should follow the actual setting. Browse the full sector range and describe the actual building use when enquiring.
Frequently asked questions
Is LOLER only about keeping a certificate on file?
No. Equipment condition, examination arrangements and the safe planning and conduct of lifting operations all need attention.
What information should I send about loler compliance?
Supply equipment lists, reports, examination schemes where used and descriptions of the lifting operations. Include the location and the decision you need to make, such as investigating a fault, planning a repair or setting up a programme.
What affects the price and programme?
Asset types, examination needs and operating arrangements influence the level of support. Any further investigation or additional work should have a clear scope before it is authorised.
What should the completion information explain?
It should identify the equipment or areas covered, the work and checks performed, limitations and unresolved actions. Match the records to your site and asset references so the next inspection or maintenance visit can use them.
