There are a lot of requirements to keep track of in LOLER. If you need a brief walkthrough of the regulations, you can check out our Quick Guide to LOLER:

Now, you might think you’ve got it covered: After all, you have a great system for keeping track of your cranes, lifts, or hoists. And we hate to burst your bubble – but how great is that system at keeping track of every accessory and item of loose gear? Do you have the documentation for every chain, sling, and eyebolt easily accessible, and do you know exactly when their next inspection should be?
