PRESS INFORMATION
Issue Date: 27 May 2009 Ref: PEN09/13
Lifting related accidents continue to represent one
of the biggest causes of deaths, injuries and time off
work. Imposing a more rigorous regime of testing and
inspection on lifting and load handling equipment is
designed to reduce the risk of mechanical failures that
contribute to workplace accidents. The Lifting Operations
and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and Provision
and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) are a
legal requirement covering cranes and tail lifts installed
on commercial vehicles as well as goods lifts and hoists.

CHOOSING AND
USING LOAD HANDLING EQUIPMENT
By Richard Short, Sales Director, Penny Hydraulics
PRESS INFORMATION
Issue Date: 10 March 2009 Ref: PEN09/05
Choosing and using the right load handling and lifting
equipment can be daunting with the bewildering range
of options available. But spending a little time thinking
about the application, potential suppliers and how the
equipment will be used and maintained can help narrow
the choice. This is important because time off work
caused by bad handling practices still represents one
of the biggest productivity losses across all industry.
For the individual, accidents and injuries caused by
inappropriate handling can lead to long term pain, misery
and lost earnings. For the employer, who has a duty
of care to staff, the impact can be severe in terms
of financial and legal consequences.
