Loler query

[Andymacp]

If you send your kit to a chap to LOLER your climbing kit and something fails do you expect him to return it with a fail certificate or cut it and dispose of it ?

Cheers

Log it on Test Cert and Return some inspectors actually put a tag on it as well or if a few items fail then i put them in a box or bag and Clearly label fail as well as listing on test report sheet

[ukminch]

Loler inspector has no right to destroy or dispose of kit so I'd expect all the kit back with a pass/fail sheet

[Pete Mctree]

I would expect the item to be labelled as failed & returned. As an inspector, I will only destroy or dispose of an item with the owners consent or by prior arrangement, as It is not mine. I will strongly advise it though, in certain circumstances to prevent further use.

[SKStrees]

All ours is returned inc any failed equipment tagged and highlighted on the control sheet.

If a Rope Fails due to Cuts Etc he has to log it as such he may be polite and Ring Whos kit it is and ask him if he wants it shortening and logging then can be retested and listed as shorter one

[TIMON]

It is not the LOLER examiners responsibility to dispose of or quarantine failed items. Only to examine them to determine whether they are safe to use or not. If I fail a rope I will ask if the owner/operator would like it shortened. Hopefully good communication and common sense prevails between examiners and clients.

I return it marked failed if it comes back in a kit next time I dispose of it end of

No quibbles

[Jonesie]

We mark it as failed and return it.

Seems a fair few people are loler inspectors out of interest how do you gain the qualification and will I have to come back to England to do so?
