Servicing

The Community Equipment Store has a responsibility to ensure equipment issued on loan is safe and suitable for use and compliant in accordance with Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998.

 

Our customer service teams contact all service users to arrange a convenient date and time for our Service Engineers to visit and complete planned servicing, testing and maintenance. Equipment is serviced by a competent person with relevant training and will be a mix of community equipment store staff and contractors we work with.

 

The equipment remains the property of CES whilst on loan and reasonable access should be granted to staff to service and LOLER equipment if required.

Please advise store of any change to address or telephone number.
