Compliance guidance for Kings Hill & West Malling duty-holders

Which Standards and Regulations Apply to Your Lift?
Lift compliance is split between two very different things that get muddled constantly: the law that applies when a lift is supplied, and the law that applies while it is in use. Standards sit alongside both without usually being law themselves. Knowing which is which decides who is responsible for what.
LOLER 1998 Regulation by Regulation
Almost every conversation about LOLER is a conversation about Regulation 9 — the thorough examination — because that is the bit somebody sells you. It is one of eight duties that actually apply to you, and it is not the one most prosecutions turn on. This sets out what each regulation requires and where people come unstuck.
PUWER 1998 Regulation by Regulation
PUWER is broader than LOLER and much less discussed, because almost nobody sells a PUWER inspection the way they sell a thorough examination. It applies to every piece of work equipment you have, it sets no fixed interval for most of it, and it is where guarding, training and isolation duties actually live.

Common Questions

LOLER Inspection FAQs (Kings Hill & West Malling)

How quickly can you carry out a LOLER inspection in Kings Hill & West Malling?

We typically arrange inspections in Kings Hill & West Malling within the same week of enquiry, with emergency response available for overdue or lapsed certificates. The visit is planned around your equipment and site, not just the next free slot.

What equipment do you inspect in Kings Hill & West Malling?

This area is predominantly commercial office and business park accommodation, with professional services occupiers, a retail and leisure core and residential development around it. We examine passenger lifts, platform lifts serving accessible entrances, goods and service lifts, and the façade access and roof plant used to maintain multi-storey buildings. We cover the whole area, including Kings Hill, West Malling and East Malling.

Do I get a LOLER certificate?

You get a Report of Thorough Examination, which is what LOLER 1998 actually requires — the regulations call it a report, never a certificate. It is the document an HSE or local authority inspector, or an insurer, will ask for, and unlike a certificate it records the condition of the equipment as found, including any defect and the timescale to put it right. People also call this LOLER testing; a thorough examination is the broader assessment, and any load or functional test forms part of it where one is warranted.

How often do we need a LOLER inspection?

Six months for equipment that lifts people (passenger lifts, MEWPs, patient hoists) and for lifting accessories, and twelve months for all other lifting equipment — unless a written examination scheme drawn up by a competent person sets different intervals.

What is included in the Report of Thorough Examination?

A description of the equipment, the examination performed, identification of defects with severity classification, recommended timescales for repair, and the date of the next examination. The report is signed by the competent person who carried out the examination.

How quickly can a lapsed inspection be arranged?

Usually within the same working week in Kings Hill & West Malling, with an overdue passenger lift treated as a priority. Out-of-hours and weekend slots are subject to plant access and risk-assessment review.

Do you inspect plant that is not maintained by you?

Yes — independent inspection is the standard model. We deliberately take on no maintenance or repair work, so there is no conflict of interest.

What happens if a defect is found?

The competent person classifies the defect by severity, and any defect that is or could become a danger to people is reported to you straight away rather than held for the report. If it is a danger now, the equipment must not be used until it is put right, and where it involves an existing or imminent risk of serious personal injury a copy of the report also goes to the enforcing authority (HSE or the local authority, depending on the premises) under LOLER Regulation 10. A defect that could become dangerous is given a date by which it must be fixed, and the equipment must not be used after that date until it is.

Are reports issued electronically?

Yes, on the same day as the examination. Digital Reports of Thorough Examination include photographs of what was examined and any defect, can be supplied to insurer portals or FM platforms on request, and we remind you before the next examination is due.
