Are Your Forklifts Fully Compliant?

Workplace safety isn’t optional — and when it comes to material handling equipment, compliance is a legal responsibility.

Under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations), employers must ensure that lifting equipment is safe, properly maintained, and thoroughly examined at the required intervals.

If you operate forklift trucks, stackers, or other lifting equipment, here’s a quick compliance checklist:

✔ Are your LOLER thorough examinations up to date?

✔ Is your equipment inspected at the correct intervals (typically every 6 or 12 months)?

✔ Are inspection reports documented and accessible?

✔ Has any damage to racking or lifting components been properly assessed?

✔ Is your servicing schedule aligned with manufacturer guidance?

If you’re unsure about any of the above, now is the time to review.
