  4. Why a Lifting Equipment and Lifting Accessories Code? • This code addresses issues raised by the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER),1998. • Failure of lifting equipment has the potential to cause major injury and is reportable to the HSE. • STFC has over 5000 registered items of lifting equipment !

  5. Key features • Only purchase BS EN or ISO standard lifting equipment. • Equipment designed ‘in-house’ must be approved by a competent person. • All lifting equipment must be registered so that it can be inspected. • All lifting equipment must be securely stored when not in use. • Ensure that it has been inspected and is not damaged in any way before use.

  6. Key points • Read section of the Code relevant to you. • Only carry out lifting operations for which you are suitably trained. • Difficult or Complex lifts must be subject to a Risk Assessment. • Consider people who may pass or work close to the lift area not just the people carrying out the lift. • Ensure that equipment and accessories are suitable for the lift. • Check that your contractors are complying with this code through their Lifting Plans and Method Statements. • Report all lifting incidents or near misses in SHE enterprise.
