Whats the daftest thing you have seen loler'd

[tommer9]

Jeez i cant believe what i have been reading- its just ridiculous!!!

[Mark Bolam]

Do I have to get my bell-end LOLER'd for lifting at work?

 

Last time I worked with Mick Stockbridge he was lashing ton bags to it, showing me porn pics and lifting them into the back of his truck.

 

LOL'd would be more fitting sometimes!

climbing kit !!!!

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?

 

lifts or holds a load:thumbup:

should not be used for people

even the 3 point linkage should be covered under loler though 12 months

 

loler is not just for people take a rigging kit for example

[bob]

Surely the tirfor is for pulling not "lifting"?

 

can be used for lifting but needs inspecting under PUWER and the easiest way is to have it inspected under loler

 

although as a point a NPTC or equivalent Loler guy is not competent to inspect a tirfor some engineering knowledge required and a way of proof testing to a given load or pull

 

or so i am told

[Arbocop]

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

 

ohh i do hate it when regs get over applied by some lunatic whith an ACOP and no common sence.

 

the hand grab in a tractor would clearly fall under PUWER regs, ie be in good nick, do the jod its intened for and cheaked as part of a service/maintence regiem.

 

this is why god invented tazarars...

bob not quite right chap

 

3 point linkage PUWER integeral part of machine that has permanat ifxing and set regime of attachemnt

 

forloaders loler, just there funktion.

 

dont forget loler builds on the established principals of puwer and thus if puwer is covering the role and the function fall ou side your definition then no need to apply the stricter loler requirments

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 used to work for a plant hire firm as a fitter and we used to have to carry out an inspection on forks and loaders before every hire.

Is that not more of a duty of care thing. ie you've got an obligation to supply them with a safe machine, and your employer decided that the best way to do this was to inspect it before every hire.

 

Different to loler requirements?
