03 — The competent person

Andrew Shore, Engineer Surveyor

The regulations do not ask for a company. They ask for a competent person: someone with the practical knowledge, engineering experience and independence to examine equipment properly and report on it accurately. That requirement is the whole basis of this business.

You deal directly with the engineer surveyor who does the work — no call centre, no rotating inspectors, and no report written by someone who never saw the machine.

Engineer surveyor

A time-served engineering background behind every examination — not a checklist operator.

Genuinely independent

Not tied to an insurer, hire company or equipment supplier. The report says what the kit is like.

Fully insured

Public liability and professional indemnity cover; a limited company registered in England & Wales.

One point of contact

The same inspector every visit, on a mobile, who knows your site and your equipment.

Same-day certification

Reports and certificates issued the day of the visit, in a format auditors accept.

Flexible attendance

Early starts, late finishes and shutdown periods worked around so production keeps running.

05 — Questions

Compliance, in plain English

A LOLER inspection is a thorough examination of lifting equipment carried out by a competent person to confirm it is safe to use. You receive a written report of thorough examination recording what was examined, any defects found and the date the next examination is due.

Every 6 months for equipment used to lift people and for lifting accessories, and every 12 months for other lifting equipment — unless an examination scheme drawn up by a competent person specifies different intervals.

PUWER covers all work equipment in the workplace: that it is suitable for the job, safe to use, properly maintained, guarded, and operated by people who have been trained. Unlike LOLER there is no fixed interval — inspection frequency is based on risk and use.

Yes. Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 a pressure system including an air receiver must be examined in accordance with a Written Scheme of Examination. Without a scheme in place, the system should not be operated.

A document, drawn up or certified by a competent person, that identifies which parts of a pressure system are examined, the nature of each examination, the intervals between them and any measures needed to prepare the system safely.

Yes, where that person is competent for both. In practice one visit can cover lifting equipment, machinery, height safety equipment and air receivers together — less downtime for you and one consistent set of paperwork.

You get a clear verbal briefing on site and a written report identifying the defect, whether it presents an immediate or imminent danger, and what has to be done. Equipment with a serious defect is taken out of service until it is repaired and re-examined.
