Weekly loler checks

[kev7937]

Was just wondering how many of the employed climbers have to keep a written record of their kit inspections.

 

I find it a pain with the most basic kit, must take ages for those with all the gadgets.

We do it weekly but have a printed sheet with all serial numbers and indents on just to tick off ! .

We also have to do a pewer one for all our saws and chippers ect .

I thought this would be the way to go but haven't got round to organising it yet ours are still all hand written.

yes mate, no check = no pay.

dont mind it personally but we only have check n tick form.

So much easier once its all typed up using 'excel' or the likes then its a quick tick and a change of dates each month

we try to do ours every week at work. it's pretty rapid using a proforma I got from the AA health and safety pack. having an orderly list of stuff with all the relevant serial numbers all neatly typed out makes it a fairly easy and quick process to go through.

 

every so often I also use this time to undo any knots I may have in my systems, be them stopper knots, fishermans or hitchs just so I can check the cord/rope that is kind of hidden within the knot itself, could be seen as a OTT but it makes me feel abit safer/happier.

Are they done just as proof for insurance companies if something went wrong?

Anyone not have to do them?

Everyone has to do them, or better said everyone ought to be doing them

So who states that they have to be done ? The Hse ?
