Lifting equipment: duties and inspections

Join the IOSH Mid Shires Community for an engaging and informative event.

This presentation will cover key aspects of lifting equipment inspection and responsibilities, including:

• pre-use, interim, and thorough examination
• who is responsible for each stage
• when these checks need to be performed
• basic documentation and reporting requirements.

Speaker: Dave Tucker, LEEA (Lifting Equipment and Engineers Association). 

Dave will guide participants through inspections of both accessories and basic appliances (such as hoists and structures), highlighting some of the more obvious defects to look out for. Practical examples of equipment, some with defects and some without, will be shown to help build understanding and awareness.

The presentation will conclude with a group Q&A session, and Dave will also be available afterwards for one-to-one discussions, to explore any topics in more detail.

This event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
