Thorough Examination
 

Plant-Tech Ltd are proud to be a CFTS approved member. CFTS has set a standard for Thorough Examinations since 2004.
​

A Thorough Examination is the name given to the mandatory inspection required by law to ensure that the mechanical parts of a lift truck, mobile plant, MEWPS etc. are in safe working order.

Thorough examination of industrial lift trucks is required under health and safety law: LOLER 1998, which covers lifting equipment, and PUWER 1998, which deals with all other safety-related items, such as brakes, steering and tyres. Your regular inspections as part of a preventive maintenance scheme or scheduled service are not a thorough examination."​

​

Under Health and Safety legislation, the employer of the lift truck operator has a duty of care to ensure the equipment is safe.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

LOLER INSPECTIONS

Machinery and equipment that is used for lifting operations, requires a regular thorough examination to ensure it is compliant and safe to used.
(6 monthly or 12 monthly depending on application)

PUWER INSPECTIONS

Machinery and equipment that is NOT used for lifting operations still requires a 12 monthly thorough examination under PUWER to ensure it is compliant and safe to be used.

Contact us today to schedule your thorough examination to ensure your machinery and equipment is fully compliant.
