Hi, I am looking for some for some help on this please - legal extract is below: Every employer shall ensure that, where the safety of lifting equipment depends on the installation conditions, it is thoroughly examined The issue for me hinges on the words 'installation conditions' - would you say the safety of lifting equipment which was put together (built) on site is dependant on the installation conditions? Our supplier is adamant that the CE Certificate of conformity will do, as its new equipment, however, I remain concern about when installation conditions should be considered. Is there a crane expert out there who could share the benefit of their experience pleases?

It is a straddle carrier mobile crane unit. I was expecting to receive the LOLER Cert, but the legislation inserted below seems to indicate this is not required unless the installation conditions apply:(1) Every employer shall ensure that before lifting equipment is put into service for the first time by him it is thoroughly examined for any defect unless either – (a) the lifting equipment has not been used before; and (b) in the case of lifting equipment for which an EC declaration of conformity could or (in the case of a declaration under the Lifts Regulations 1997) should have been drawn up, the employer has received such declaration made not more than 12 months before the lifting equipment is put into service; This is why the question of Installation conditions are so important Thanks for your help
