Whats the daftest thing you have seen loler'd

[Charlieh]

I will start of with recently I was on a site, the tractor hand bars that you pull yourself up into the cab with have to now be loler'd

 

I do wonder where this will end, also how many L/A staff on here have taken this level of precaution with machinery

Cool:thumbup1:

 

Gives me more of a reason to get my LOLER inspecting ticket, since it looks like the way forward.

 

May as well make sure everything with a handle is inspected from the good old dumpy bag for collecting clippings, to our kit bags to the works coffee mug.

 

We all know a good hot steaming cup of tea to the trousers tonsils isnt funny at all:thumbdown:

 

Tis the future!

Technically the jack in the landrover should be lolered.

Only if it's used........ A lot of firms now won't let you change a wheel. When I used to drive a minibus you'd often get a spare wheel and no jack or wrench. I'd pop a jack in just in case, came in useful once, especially soon as there aa card was well hidden!

The college wanted me to loler the car jack, the front loader on the tractor, the winch on the front of the landy and a tirfor I very very rarely use

I suppose if you think about it its probably more important to get a jack lolered in a works vehicle than it is to say get a climbing kit lolered.

 

Not that I would condone such a silly and preposterous waste of time and money though.

 

And I hope you didnt

[Charlieh]

Dean why the front end loader just out of interest? as it was my understanding these were excempt unless you lift yourself or someone else up with it?

thats what im thinking:thumbup1:

The place I get my standards from had their forks failed on the loler inspection, the new ones were exactly the same. Needless to say they now use a different loler inspector for that bit of kit.

 

Do you use the tirfor and winch for lifting, I'd wouldn't necessary have put them under loler, a bit like pull ropes really?

I have no idea charlie, he just asked me if I had a tractor and if it had a front loader which I use for logs and chip. I just told them my apprentice doesn't go anywhere near it and he accepted that as ok.

 

With regards to the tirfor, I supposed it's because it can be used for lifting or lowering a load, not neccessarily that it will be

 

I think they go well over board on a College H&S assessment myself
