Technical description: LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) sets strict requirements for lifting equipment used in UK offshore operations. Compliance involves scheduled thorough examinations by a competent person, ensuring cranes and associated gear meet safety standards. Detailed records of inspections, repairs, and certifications must be maintained and readily available for audits. LOLER also mandates risk assessments and method statements for lifting operations, ensuring hazards are identified and mitigated before work begins.
