A LOLER examination is the legal requirement for a thorough examination of climbing and rigging equipment.
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) states that this has to be carried out by a qualified examiner to make sure that all equipment is safe to use.
Your equipment must undergo a LOLER examination in these intervals;
Climbing Equipment (PPE) – 6 Months
Rigging Equipment – 12 Months
Bowline comes to you!
Taking kit out of service and sending it away for examination costs time and money. This is why Bowline can come to your yard, office or work site. With an off-grid office complete with power and internet, examinations can be carried out wherever you are at your own convenience.
South West, South Wales, Bristol, Oxford, London, Birmingham.
Bowline also covers all of Wales and England, as far north as Manchester. I can arrange to travel further north by arrangement if you have more than five kits.
Quite a few companies with smaller numbers, team up with other local firms or climbers to have their kits checked together, which means I can keep customers
costs down.
£58.50 + VAT climbing or rigging bag.
