Ensure your equipment meets the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998
UKRMES specialises in inspecting farming, construction and forestry equipment and machinery, to ensure it meets all current LOLER regulations. We conduct a full end-to-end inspection of your machinery to ensure all is in order. Think of it as an MOT test for larger pieces of equipment. When applied specifically to agriculture, LOLER relates to a wide range of lifting equipment, including:
- Tractor front end loaders
- Forklift trucks
- Telescopic handlers
- Mounted cranes
- Workshop hoists and rope hoists
- Backhoe loaders
- Excavators
- Skid steer loaders
- Hydraulic jacks
This is not an exhaustive list, so if you are unsure, give our team a call and we'll be able to provide expert advice.
Why do I need a LOLER inspection?
Around one person every other week dies in the UK and many more are injured as a result of working on agricultural sites. With the risks on agricultural sites being so high, it is a legal requirement that all lifting equipment must hold a valid LOLER and PUWER certificate. Even if nobody else works on the farm, the equipment never leaves the farm and you're certified to drive the equipment, you still need valid certificates.
If HSE is notified of any accident at the site they will check to see what certificates are in place, even if the loader or air receiver was not involved. Fines for non-compliance start at £3000 and only increase from there.
It's essential to treat a farm or construction site like any other workplace and ensure that every health and safety regulation is adhered to, particularly around machinery. Don't get caught out, choose UKRMES today. Based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne we provide a nationwide service to the country's farmers and agricultural sector.
Arrange your LOLER inspection today and ensure you are fully compliant.
