Posted By PW74 We have recently installed a tower crane on site. For its use we have in place a Lifting Plan and a method statement. We are also set to do Daily pre-use checks & Weekly Inspections and fill out an F91 as per LOLER requirements. All this documentation is to be filed on site. However, I have also been asked if we are to have a LOLER Register and PUWER Register. Bit stuck on what these Registers are?

Posted By John A Wright Correct me if \I'm wrong someone please, but I don't believe an F91 form is applicable nowadays (I assume it is 'before my time'). A LOLER register is a list of all your lifting equipment and accessories which need professional inspection (6 month or annual as appropriate) and the register states when they were lst testes, when they will\ next be tested. Your crane is one piece of lifting equipment but the crane's hooks, chains, eyebolts etc need to be inspected (and your FLTs, pallet trucks, hoists, MEWPs etc Check out www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg290.pdf Similarly PUWER is a register of your work equipment, indicating that they have been inspected (e.g. internal PUWER assessment) for suitability, on, off, e-stop buttons, guards, isolators etc etc. John W
