LOLER Inspections for Facilities Management

Facilities teams often inherit equipment spread across roofs, plant rooms, loading areas and tenant spaces. We help turn that mixed inventory into a practical inspection programme.

Your operating environment

A practical inspection scope for property & facilities.

Goods lifts, window-cleaning equipment, MEWPs, maintenance hoists and personal fall protection may be owned, hired or contractor-controlled. Clear ownership and records prevent equipment falling between contracts.

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.

Sector risks

Where inspection programmes can lose control.

1

Unclear responsibility between landlord and contractor

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

2

Infrequently used equipment missed from registers

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

3

Roof equipment exposed to weather

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

4

Reports held by a departed service provider

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

Before attendance

Prepare for a productive visit.

  1. Confirm ownership and duty-holder responsibility
  2. Arrange keys, permits and roof access
  3. Provide previous reports and asset schedules
  4. Coordinate tenants and maintenance contractors

Arrange inspections for property & facilities

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.

FAQs

Property & facilities inspection FAQs

Who is responsible in a managed building?
Responsibility depends on control and contractual arrangements. The organisation controlling the equipment should make sure the duty is clearly allocated and evidence is current.
Can roof and internal equipment be covered in one visit?
Usually, provided access, permits and any specialist arrangements are agreed before attendance.
Do rarely used items still need examination?
Infrequent use does not automatically remove the duty. Storage conditions, deterioration and the examination scheme should be considered.
