During a recent site visit, I came across several pieces of material handling equipment (MHE) with no evidence of a valid thorough examination (TE) \u2014 a legal requirement that\u2019s often overlooked.<\/p>\n

Under LOLER, all lifting equipment \u2014 such as forklifts, cranes, hoists, and attachments \u2014 must undergo a TE by a competent person, at least every 12 months (or every 6 months if lifting people, or if otherwise specified). This is to ensure the equipment is safe and fit for use.<\/p>\n

Failing to keep up with TEs can result in unsafe equipment, invalidated insurance, enforcement action, fines, and even prosecution if an accident happens.<\/p>\n

In this case, we\u2019ve helped customer arrange a TE for the very next day so training could go ahead without delay \u2014 it really is worth staying on top of.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure what applies to your fleet, speak to your safety advisor, and make sure your records are in order.<\/p>\n

Safety and compliance protect everyone \u2014 don\u2019t wait for something to go wrong.<\/p>\n
