Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations – LOLER

Lifting operations and the equipment used to complete them have the potential to be dangerous in the workplace. Fortunately, there are regulations to follow that can help you make sure they’re as safe as possible.

This course will help you follow the relevant guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible, in line with UK legislation relating to lifting operations and equipment.

Who should take this course?

Moving heavy objects can be very dangerous, not just to the people lifting, but others around them. It doesn’t matter what industry you work in; anyone who owns, operates, or employs others to operate lifting equipment needs to know what’s expected of them in LOLER.

This course will help you to ensure that working with lifting equipment in your workplace is as safe as possible. It also aims to help you understand the requirements and responsibilities laid out in LOLER.
