At Care Hoist Inspection, we provide professional inspection, testing and certification services for patient lifting equipment used in healthcare and care settings. 

Our services help organisations stay compliant with UK safety regulations, including the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).

We work with care homes, hospitals, supported living providers, and healthcare organisations to ensure lifting equipment remains safe, compliant and fully operational.
