Are Dentist chairs classed as lifting equipment?

Many do have the facility to raise or lower although now it’s more common for just the backs to move forward or back.

Hope someone can help.

No they are not part of LOLER and the Regs as they are supporting the load rather than lifting the load.

However, they will come under PUWER and all the inspection and testing implication within PUWER will apply.

I hope this helps

No, LOLER is not applied, for the reasons see the HSE Sector Information at this address: http://www.hse.gov.uk/fo...ctors/public/7_99_18.pdf
