LOLER inspection questions — Abingdon
Common questions from care home managers and maintenance leads in the Abingdon area.
Do you cover Abingdon and the Vale of White Horse area?
Yes. We cover Abingdon and the surrounding area including Oxford, Didcot, Wallingford, Wantage, and Faringdon. Abingdon sits conveniently between our Reading base and Oxford, making it a regular part of our route.
We are a small residential care home. Do the same LOLER rules apply?
Yes. LOLER applies to all workplaces where lifting equipment is used to lift people, regardless of the size of the organisation. If you have a patient hoist, it must be thoroughly examined at least every six months.
What is the difference between a LOLER inspection and a visual check by staff?
A visual check by staff is a useful daily safety practice but it does not satisfy LOLER requirements. A thorough examination must be carried out by a competent person — someone with the knowledge and experience to assess the equipment objectively and produce a written report.
How do we start if we have no existing inspection records?
Contact us and we will arrange a first visit to assess all your lifting equipment. We will examine each item, produce written reports, and tag the equipment. From that point your records are in order and you can plan your ongoing schedule.
Can you inspect equipment installed by a different company?
Yes. The LOLER thorough examination is independent of who supplied or installed the equipment. We assess its current condition and compliance objectively.
