Hi there,

 

The HSE LOLER guidance states:

 

"What is a 'competent person'?

The term 'competent person' is not defined in law but the LOLER Approved Code of Practice and guidance[2] (paragraph 294 on competent persons) states that:

'You should ensure that the person carrying out a thorough examination has such appropriate practical and theoretical knowledge and experience of the lifting equipment to be thoroughly examined as will enable them to detect defects or weaknesses and to assess their importance in relation to the safety and continued use of the lifting equipment."

 

This clearly highlights the importance of someone having suitable industry experience to undertake the inspects of arb kit and, similarly, I would suggest an industry based training provider may provide more suitable, 'tailored' training. On a number of occasions I have observed inspections undertaken by none industry expereinced persons and it often leaves much to be desired.

 

Good luck..

Paul
