Who is responsible for making sure that a fork lift truck has a current Report of Thorough Examination?

In simple terms it is the employer of the operator who has this responsibility. Under Health and Safety legislation the employer has a duty of care – “it shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, as far as is reasonably practical, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his/her employees” The employer must ensure that the fork lift trucks that his/her operators use are safe. This is achieved through the implementation of a programme of Thorough Examinations. (It should be remembered that Thorough Examinations run alongside necessary maintenance procedures and checks, not in place of them.)

Is your forklift truck up to the mark?

If you own or operate a forklift truck, you are required by law to ensure that it holds a report of Thorough Examination.
This applies even to trucks on hire.

Failure to comply can leave you open to prosecution and could invalidate your insurance… or much worse in the case of a serious accident arising from faulty equipment

Important Health & Safety information

Thorough Examination of lifting equipment. The following information applies to all users of lifting equipment such as forklift trucks.

A Thorough Examination is a statutory requirement for lifting equipment under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER 98), Regulation 9. It has the same purpose as an MOT inspection by providing a report, which identifies that the lifting equipment is safe to use, and/or advice that needs to be followed to avoid risks in use. It is just as important as an MOT – probably more so! There is a legal requirement for a Thorough Examination to be carried out on fork lift trucks at least once a year, and often more frequently depending on conditions of use.

What does a Thorough Examination involve?

A Thorough Examination is the inspection of lifting equipment, as required by LOLER 98, and other safety related components or equipment, as required by PUWER 98. A Competent Person is required to examine these items, check them for serviceability and report accordingly. It is not a full maintenance inspection of the truck. A Thorough Examination is substantially different from a maintenance inspection and the Competent Person has different duties to fulfill under the law.
