Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)

The course begins by explaining the purpose and scope of LOLER, including what is classed as a lifting operation and the types of equipment covered by the regulations.

Learners will explore the importance of lifting equipment safety and the potential injuries that can result from unsafe machinery or lifting operations. The course then covers key legal requirements around equipment maintenance, including what is meant by a ‘thorough examination’ under LOLER.

The course also explains lifting equipment markings and safe working loads (SWL), helping learners understand how to identify equipment and use it safely. It concludes by looking at an organisation’s responsibilities for protecting young people involved in lifting operations.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand what is meant by LOLER and what equipment is covered by LOLER
• Develop an understanding of lifting equipment safety
• Have an understanding of the importance of maintenance of equipment and lifting equipment markings.
• Finally, understand the LOLER requirements for protecting young persons.

Understand the risks and how to protect yourself during lifting operations and when using lifting equipment.
Online training is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective, meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training around their work and personal life.

This course is aimed at anyone in any industry who is responsible for and uses lifting equipment. This could include site supervisors or managers.
