Contact Us
A prominent UK-based vehicle and fleet management company specialises in providing comprehensive fleet solutions, including vehicle hire, fleet management, and training services. Their operations involve managing a diverse range of vehicles and equipment that require rigorous maintenance and safety checks to ensure operational efficiency and compliance with legal standards.

Handling a large fleet with diverse machinery and vehicles presents significant challenges in maintaining compliance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER). These regulations require that all lifting equipment must be fit for purpose, appropriately maintained, and subject to regular thorough examinations. The client needed a reliable partner to ensure continuous compliance and safety of their lifting operations.

A safety and quality assurance specialist partnered with the client to provide a tailored LOLER retainer service. This partnership was designed to address the specific needs of the client’s diverse fleet operations.

The key components of the service included:

Regular LOLER Inspections:

The specialist implemented a schedule of regular inspections that aligned with LOLER requirements and the client’s operational calendar. This ensured all lifting equipment was inspected at the appropriate intervals without disrupting business operations.

Comprehensive Reporting and Documentation:

Following each inspection, the specialist provided detailed reports documenting the findings and recommendations. This documentation helped the client to track compliance and facilitated quick actions on any issues identified.

Preventive Maintenance Advice:

Alongside the inspections, the specialist offered expert advice on preventive maintenance practices. This guidance helped the client address potential issues before they led to equipment failure or safety risks.

Outcomes achieved

The retainer service has established a robust framework for the client to manage their lifting operations safely and compliantly. This case study exemplifies how targeted expert services can enhance operational standards and compliance in specialized industrial sectors.
