Do you utilise lifting equipment at work? For clearer ideas of safe lifting you might want to check out the updated Approved Code of Practice and guidance, which has just been published. The new guidance brings it in line with regulatory and other changes and helps clarify the types of equipment that are subject to the regulations, as well as the role of the competent person.
Who’s it for? For anyone that uses lifting equipment provided at work, their employers, those that represent them and anyone who acts as a competent person in the examination of lifting equipment.
What it sets out: It tells what you should do to comply with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER). LOLER applies to lifting equipment and builds on the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).
In this new edition, the context and examples have been expanded to illustrate how LOLER applies across every sector that uses lifting equipment. In particular, examples focus on the impact on the health and social care sector.
