Independent Lifting Consultancy – Making Compliance Simple
At Lifting Gear and Safety, we provide independent consultancy that makes inspection, testing, and equipment supply straightforward and fully compliant. We work with duty holders, project teams, and procurement specialists to deliver practical solutions that keep lifting operations safe, efficient, and aligned with UK regulations.
Planning for Compliance
Our process starts with your goals and risks. We then create a clear plan that includes:
- Asset surveys and registers
- Gap analysis against LOLER, PUWER, and Work at Height Regulations
- Prioritised inspection and testing schedules tailored to your operations
Technical Expertise
Our engineers define sensible test regimes, method statements, and acceptance criteria. We select appropriate non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques and integrate calibration and traceability so results stand up to audit. Where required, we coordinate proof and functional testing, commissioning support, and remedial actions to close findings quickly.
Equipment Specification and Supply
On the supply side, we help you specify the right equipment—lifting beams, accessories, anchors, jibs, cranes, and marine safety items—matched to loads, duty cycles, and environmental constraints. We prepare technical specifications and drawings, advise on standards including BS, EN, and ISO, UKCA/CE conformity and documentation, and provide supplier-neutral sourcing guidance or tender support to achieve best value without compromising safety.
Transparent Delivery
We provide concise reports, compliance roadmaps, budgets, and timelines, plus training and toolbox talks to raise competence. Whether you need a one-off audit, project design and commissioning oversight, or a rolling programme that ties inspection, testing, and supply together, our consultancy gives you confident decisions and measurable improvements.
