What is A Thorough Examination?
A Thorough Examination is an essential, mandatory check to ensure that your trucks are in safe working order. In simple terms, you can think of a Thorough Examination as being the forklift truck equivalent of an MOT. It is not the same as any regular checks your trucks may have as part of scheduled service plan.
It is required by law, and covers two different sets of Health and Safety regulation(s): LOLER 98 and PUWER 98. The LOLER and PUWER legislation covers different areas of a truck’s operation, so a truck that passes LOLER 98 could still leave you liable under PUWER 98, and vice versa. This is why a Thorough Examination is paramount. It means you’re completely covered.
What the HSE say…
“The HSE recognises that thorough examinations carried out by a trained competent person are an acceptable means by which users of lifting equipment can meet their legal obligations under regulation 9 of LOLER 98”
