Different Equipment, Different Inspection Requirements
Different types of equipment can fall under different inspection regimes. Some lifting equipment may require a LOLER thorough examination, while wider workplace equipment can fall within PUWER requirements. Other specialist equipment may be subject to separate inspection requirements or standards.
We look at the equipment, how it is used and the working environment before confirming the appropriate inspection approach.
