Overview

The safe use of lifting equipment is essential in various industries, particularly in construction, warehousing, and manufacturing. The LOLER Training Course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills required to safely plan, execute, and manage lifting operations while adhering to the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER). This regulation aims to prevent accidents and injuries related to lifting operations by setting out clear standards for selecting, maintaining, and using lifting equipment. With this training, workers and managers can ensure that all lifting tasks are conducted in a safe manner, minimising risks to health and safety.

The course begins with an introduction to LOLER, outlining the importance of lifting equipment regulations and their impact on workplace safety. Learners will then explore selecting lifting equipment and accessories, learning how to choose the correct tools and machinery for specific tasks. The course further breaks down the selection process into two parts, helping learners understand the different factors to consider when choosing lifting equipment. The planning of lifting operations is another key module, where learners will discover how to develop clear and effective lifting plans. The course also addresses factors affecting safe lifting operations, including environmental conditions and the physical characteristics of the load. Learners will then review the roles and responsibilities of those involved in lifting operations, ensuring they understand their duties in maintaining safety. Risk assessments are also covered, teaching learners how to identify hazards and mitigate risks before performing a lift. The course also provides guidance on examination and inspection of lifting equipment to ensure it is fit for use. Finally, learners will learn how to handle reports and defects, which includes reporting any issues with equipment and ensuring they are addressed before operations begin.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the key principles and regulations of LOLER.
  • Select appropriate lifting equipment and accessories based on the task.
  • Plan and execute safe lifting operations in compliance with regulations.
  • Identify and mitigate factors that affect safe lifting operations.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
