LOLER Inspections for Fabrication & Welding Workshops
Fabrication work places concentrated loads on cranes, hoists and below-the-hook equipment. Independent examination follows that complete lifting arrangement and makes defects clear.
A practical inspection scope for fabrication & welding.
Heat, impact, abrasive dust and repeated handling can affect hooks, chains, clamps, magnets and supporting structures. Traceable equipment identification is particularly important where loose gear moves between bays.
We agree what is in scope, how it can be accessed safely and which records are already available before the visit. That creates a more efficient examination without treating unlike equipment as if it were the same.
Where inspection programmes can lose control.
Heat or weld damage to lifting items
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Modified equipment without reassessment
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Missing safety catches or capacity markings
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Loose gear moving between work areas
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Prepare for a productive visit.
- Gather loose accessories in inspection zones
- Clean load-bearing components where needed
- Provide safe access to crane runways
- Declare repairs, alterations or overload events
Arrange inspections for fabrication & welding
Tell us what equipment you operate, where it is and when it is due. We will confirm the right inspection scope and arrange a practical site date.
