LOLER inspections Scotland & thorough examinations
Lifting and work equipment inspections across Scotland and northern England.
Scott Inspection Services helps duty holders keep equipment safe, inspection dates current and statutory records in order — with independent site visits and clear digital reports.
Independent inspections that help prove compliance.
A thorough examination is more than a quick visual check and it is separate from routine maintenance. It is a detailed assessment by a competent person, completed at the right interval and followed by the written report the duty holder needs to retain.
We examine lifting equipment, lifting accessories, work equipment and working-at-height equipment. Because inspection is independent from equipment sales and repair, findings are based on condition, risk and the relevant duty.
The equipment we examine.
Choose the service that matches your equipment. If your site needs more than one, send the full asset list and we will help define a practical combined scope.
