sample report of thorough examination
This is a genuine PULO Report of Thorough Examination, with the client's name, site and equipment details replaced by an example. It shows exactly what you receive after every inspection - It's the same format whether we're examining a lift, a forklift, or lifting tackle.
Every report is signed by a real engineer
Ryan Leavesley MSOE MBES has fourteen years' experience as an engineer surveyor. Every report is checked and signed personally.
What the law says your LOLER report must legally contain
Every PULO report meets all eleven items required by Schedule 1 to LOLER 1998 (made under Regulation 10). This means it needs to include the following:
-
Your name and address as the employer
-
The address of the premises where the equipment was examined
-
Enough detail to identify the equipment, including its date of manufacture where known
-
The safe working load, including for different configurations
-
Confirmation of whether this was the first examination after installation
-
The date of the last thorough examination
-
Whether the equipment is safe to continue in use
-
Details of any defect that is, or could become, a danger to people
-
The date by which the next examination is due
-
The name, address and qualifications of the person making the report
-
The date of the report itself
How long you need to keep it
Under Regulation 11(2) of LOLER, how long you keep a report depends on what it covers: two years for a lifting accessory, for as long as you use the equipment for most other lifting equipment, and until the next report is made (or two years, whichever is later) for a periodic examination report.
