LOLER inspection software UKDone Properly.
The only inspection software built specifically for LOLER 1998. Complete thorough examinations on your phone, generate Schedule 1 compliant PDF certificates instantly, and track every renewal date — all from £250/month.
Still writing it down on paper and typing it up at home?
Most LOLER inspectors are using spreadsheets or a system cobbled together years ago. It works — until it doesn't.
Paper forms on site, hours typing at home
Your inspectors spend evenings entering data they already collected. That's profitable time just leaking away.
No visibility on what's expiring
Under LOLER, there is no grace period. Miss a date by one day and you're non-compliant.
Audit requests mean digging through folders
Inspectors, managers, and clients all need access. Finding records shouldn't take 30 minutes.
Software that doesn't work on site
Warehouses, construction sites, workshops — you need the app wherever there's no signal.
Companies have been fined thousands for missing a due date
HSE enforcement activity is on a rising trajectory. Paper records leave you exposed. Digital audit trails are your best defence.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, completely. Lolerflow is designed around the specific requirements of LOLER 1998. Inspection templates cover all mandatory fields from Schedule 1. Reports include the defect category system (Cat A, B, C), the examiner's declaration, and equipment identifiers. The record retention system meets Regulation 11. We're built for this — not adapted from a generic tool.
Lolerflow automatically applies the correct interval for each asset — 6 months for lifting accessories (chains, slings, shackles) and equipment used to lift persons; 12 months for other lifting equipment. You can also configure a custom examination scheme if you have one in place. The system alerts you before expiry — nothing slips through.
Yes. Every inspection captures the defect category as defined under LOLER. Category A defects (existing danger) flag the asset as immediately out of service and notify the responsible party. Category B defects (future danger) set a repair deadline. Category C (observation) is recorded for trend monitoring. The report generated matches what an HSE inspector expects to see.
Yes. Every completed examination generates a Schedule 1-compliant written report covering all required fields: equipment description and identification, date of examination, safe working load, examiner details, defect category, and required actions. Reports are PDF-exportable, time-stamped, and tamper-evident.
Yes. Records are time-stamped, linked to the examiner's identity, and cannot be retroactively altered — which is exactly what an HSE inspector looks for. You can produce a complete examination history for any asset on request, in seconds.
