Keep Examination Responsibilities Separate and Properly Documented

LOLER compliance is not achieved through servicing alone. Duty holders need suitable examination arrangements, competent independent assessment, retained reports and action on identified defects.

Trades 247 helps facilities managers, landlords and managing agents coordinate lift compliance activity and related remedial works across UK sites.

We review equipment use, duty-holder arrangements, available declarations and reports, examination dates, competent-person requirements, defects and maintenance interfaces.
