winch and cable unless used for lifting or lowering does not need checking for loler but would still need checking under puwer pantin and ascenders are a grey area imo as they should not really be used to support person all should be backed up or used to assist ascent but we check ours gadgets and strops and metal strops mallions and slings could be added to list. In all fairness everything you may have in your climbing bag or may use for climbing or all lowering kit should be included

we wont let the zurich man touch our kit although we are getting pressure to let him he does hiab, tractor ,winches , slings and chains. They do the fire service kit so ought to know a fair bit but i do work stuff and he reconed it would only take him an hour or 2 to check and record 8 complex kits If he checks your kit and gives you a written report i would say you are complying although you should have knowledge of kit you are checking.I would not check a mewp or telehandler ect

nice lightweight boots that are nice and flexible have always loved the lavaro,s and am looking to return to them even though you can cut the toe cap the rest of the boot is similar in protection to all the others IMO and how many of you wear A,s when you know c,s are required or if not required they are safer. though am open to suggestions
