About Us An explanation of RubberTags.co.uk
Rubbertags is an online provider of rubber equipment tags, these tags can be used in any application imaginable - but generally are used to label Lifting Equipment.
To comply with LOLER 98 all lifting equipment and height safety equipment needs to be subjected to a thorough examination by a competent person at maximum intervals. Dependant on the piece of equipment the maximum period between inspections is either 6 or 12 months though it must be noted that this maximum period must be reduced dependant on how that equipment is used, the environment of use and by who / how often it is used (etc...).
By integrating a colour code system in to your a lifting and / or height safety scheme at the work place users will be able to instantly identify when the equipment was last examined by the competent person and therefore that the equipment should not be used.. For example January to March is RED, April to June is BLUE etc... Having 4 or more colours rotating in the colour code system means that if a piece of equipment goes missing when the inspection is due there is a good chance it will be re discovered before the same colour rotates live once more.
