Course Overview
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 provide guidelines for lifting procedures, so that they are conducted in the safest way possible. Operations require adequate planning, safe systems of work, professional supervision, and thorough examination.
In the UK alone, there have been 61 recorded accidents involving tower cranes, resulting in 25 injuries and 9 deaths. The purpose of LOLER Training is to provide safe methods of work to implement into your job role, to decrease the number of accidents.
Our LOLER Training outlines the fundamental requirements that you need to achieve compliance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. The course is IOSH approved and you will receive a personal certificate upon completion.
Our simple guide contains 5 sections: defining LOLER, choosing suitable equipment, where to set it up, operation planning, and the maintenance of equipment.

Why is LOLER Training important?
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 were designed to make lifting operations, and the use of lifting equipment, as safe as can be.
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) Regulations aim to make working life safer for everyone using and coming into contact with lifting equipment: employers and employees, contractors and others. Like all regulations, they need to be studied closely. The words have been chosen carefully and sometimes have a precise legal meaning. At other times, you need to interpret the Regulations according to your own situation. HSE
