Your Obligations as an Owner

As a lift, escalator or cradle owner you have a responsibility under the management of Health & Safety to ensure the equipment for which you are responsible is safe to use. The following regulations need to be considered which are part of the Health & Safety at Work Act and are statutory and enforceable through the courts.

> WHSWR – The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992

> PUWER – The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

> LOLER – The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998

> SAFed - The Safety Assessment Federation

If you are a lift owner or someone responsible for the safe operation of a lift used at work, such as a facilities manager or supervisor, you are a 'dutyholder' under The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER98).

As the dutyholder you have a legal responsibility to ensure that the lift is thoroughly examined and that it is safe to use. These responsibilities include ensuring the lift is properly maintained, ensuring the lift is examined at statutory intervals, acting promptly to remedy any defects, and ensuring that all documentation and record keeping complies with the regulations.

We ensure that our clients are informed of any changes to legislation, lift engineering standards, codes of practice or other recommendations that may affect their lift, escalator or cradle equipment. Should any specific improvements be necessary to your equipment, we will inform you and quote competitive prices to undertake the works.

At Jackson Lift Group our computerised systems, historical records and online database facility assist you in complying with these regulations to meet your legal responsibilities.
