The Legal Bit (M.O.T, Insurance & Fixed Attachment LOLER)
M.O.T: The Ministry of Transport test (M.O.T) is an annual examination for vehicles over three years old. It's legally required to ensure that your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.
Insurance is a legal requirement to have at least a basic level of vehicle insurance, known as third-party insurance, even if your vehicle is off the road.
Vehicle tax is mandatory. The amount of tax you pay depends on a number of factors, including the type of vehicle, engine size, and CO2 emissions.
LOLER also requires that all equipment used for lifting is fit for purpose, appropriate for the task, suitably marked and, in many cases, subject to statutory periodic 'thorough examination'. Records must be kept of all thorough examinations and any defects found must be reported to both the person responsible for the equipment and the relevant enforcing authority.
Vehicle Maintenance
All manufacturers have a straight forward process for inspecting their vehicles.
The workMule App has been designed to mirror this process in compliance with manufacturers manuals and warranty requirements.
Also compliant with the general expectations of the entire vehicle industry, our inspections have been mapped out to the DVLA & DVSA standards. Pre-use inspections carried out by the end user saves time, costly repairs, downtime and helps reduce accidents in the work place.
- Maintenance must be carried out by a competent person (who has the correct skills, experience and knowledge to do this safely).
- Vehicles must be maintained at regular intervals, utilising instructions provided by the manufacturer for guidance, most importantly if there are safety-critical features.
- A procedure must be in place to show employees how to report a fault or damage to equipment.
- Make sure the person carrying out the maintenance is provided with the correct equipment to reduce the risk to the maintenance team and others, schedule the works accordingly.
- Ensure that maintenance is carried out safely, that machinery and moving parts are isolated or locked, and that flammable, explosive, or toxic items are correctly handled.
