Insurance and LOLER

[Stevie Mac]

Does anyone know if you are covered by your insurance if your gear hasn't been LOLER'd?

 

I have looked through my insurance docs but there's mention of it and I don't really fancy phoning them during the week.

 

The reason I ask is that my gear is due its check but I will be starting a job where all my kit is supplied. I will still do the odd homers where I would use my own kit. I will be keeping up my monthly insurance payments for those odd jobs but don't really fancy paying £50 every 6 months for kit that I would be happy to climb on and happy to destroy if think it would fail.

 

Cheers

I would say no. My insurance requires it but just because you can't see it on doc don't think they won't use it against you if you ever need to make a claim.

Depends what your insurer requires. They often have a catch all saying the insured must comply with all relevant legislation.

 

Any excuse not to pay out……..
