Passenger Lifts
Passenger Lifts LOLER Examinations
Stay compliant, stay safe, keep moving.
Passenger lifts are essential for moving people quickly and safely between floors — whether in offices, residential buildings, hotels, or public spaces. Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), passenger lifts must be thoroughly examined by a competent person at regular intervals to ensure they’re safe and legal to operate.
LOLER Requirements for Passenger Lifts
-
Frequency: At least every 6 months if carrying people.
-
Inspector: Must be a competent person — independent, qualified, and experienced.
-
Records: You must keep LOLER reports and act on any defects found.
-
Legal duty: Building owners, facilities managers, and employers are responsible for arranging examinations.
Failing to comply can result in enforcement action, heavy fines, or prosecution — and, more importantly, puts people at risk.
