Statutory inspection records

Prove every check
you're liable for.

LOLER, PUWER, fire doors, CQC, calibration and PAT all ask the same three things: what the rule requires, who carries the duty, and where the record is. QR-Inventory is the scan on the asset and the pack you hand over.

For construction, facilities, care, hire and laboratories — the sectors the demo already asks about.

The stakes

The duty has a name on it.

An inspector does not ask for your filing system. They ask who was responsible, whether the check was in date, and to see the record. Under LOLER that is the duty holder. Under the Fire Safety Order it is the Responsible Person. Under CQC it is the registered manager. A spreadsheet that anyone can edit is a weak answer to a question with a name attached. Spreadsheets don't survive an audit.

The duties

The rule, the person, the scan, the pack.

These are the compliance drivers on the demo form. Each one is a rule, a person who carries it, a check captured on the asset, and a pack you can export.

The person liable

The duty is attached to a person, not a folder.

The record names them: the LOLER duty holder, the employer under PUWER and the Electricity at Work Regulations, the Responsible Person for fire doors, the CQC registered manager, and the person who released a calibrated instrument for use.

The pack

What you hand to the inspector.

The check, the name, the date, and the certificate, for one asset or the estate. Re-issued records are superseded and kept, so the pack you export is the history that was written at the time.

LOLER

Thorough examination of lifting equipment by a competent person, at the interval in regulation 9 — commonly six or twelve months, or an examination scheme. The report sits on the machine.

PUWER

Work equipment kept suitable, maintained, and inspected where deterioration could cause danger. The employer carries the duty. The inspection is logged on the equipment.

Fire Safety (FSR 2022)

Regulation 10 fire-door checks, carried by the Responsible Person. The scan holds the check, the photo and the self-closer result. Fire door records.

CQC

Regulations 12 and 15: care must be safe, and premises and equipment properly maintained. The registered manager can show the check on the device.

Calibration

The interval comes from your standard or the manufacturer, not from a single UK statute. The record shows the certificate and that the instrument was in date when it was used.

PAT

Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, regulation 4: equipment maintained to prevent danger. The employer carries it. The PAT result and label date sit on the appliance. PAT records.

QR-Inventory keeps the record of the check. It does not discharge the duty. Confirm the scope of LOLER, PUWER, the Fire Safety Order, CQC, your calibration standard and the Electricity at Work Regulations with your competent person. Regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 applies in England.

Chain of custody

An unbroken record, written as it happens.

The scan is the record. The check, the name and the time are appended when they happen, so the history in the pack is the history that was written on the asset.

Tamper-evident by design

Each entry is hashed and chained to the last. Any alteration is detectable.

Time-stamped & attributed

Who, what, where and when — captured automatically at the point of scan.

The pack for one asset

Export the sealed history for a single machine, door, device or appliance — or for the estate.

The pack

The check, the name, and the date it runs out.

The same shape for every duty. A LOLER report, a fire-door check, a PAT result, a calibration certificate or a CQC equipment record: generated from the scan, attached to the asset, and kept when it is re-issued.

  • Written from the inspection, not typed up afterwards
  • The person who did the check is on the record
  • A reminder before the due date, to the duty holder
  • Export for the inspector, assessor, CQC, client or insurer
How it works

Tag it. Scan it. Prove it.

The asset is the way into its own record. The person doing the check does not have to find a spreadsheet.

STEP 01

Tag

A durable QR tag is bound to the asset — a boom lift, a fire door, a monitor, an instrument, an appliance.

STEP 02

Scan

The person carrying out the check scans it and logs the result, with their name, online or with no signal.

STEP 03

Prove

Export the pack for that asset, or for every asset on the estate, when someone asks for it.

Who it's for

The sectors the demo already asks about.

Construction

LOLER and PUWER, on the machine.

Thorough examinations and work-equipment inspections logged where the plant is — including sites with no signal — with the duty holder named on the record.

FAQ

The duties, answered.

Does QR-Inventory make us compliant?
No tool does. QR-Inventory keeps the scheduled check, the name of the person who carried it out, and the pack you can hand to an inspector. The duty itself stays with the duty holder.
Which duties does this cover?
The same ones the demo asks about: LOLER thorough examinations, PUWER inspections, fire-door checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, equipment records for CQC, calibration history, and PAT under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Who is liable?
It depends on the regime. LOLER sits with the employer and anyone who controls the lifting equipment. PUWER and the Electricity at Work Regulations sit with the employer. Fire doors sit with the Responsible Person. CQC sits with the registered provider and registered manager. Calibration sits with the person who puts the instrument into use.
What does a scan store?
The check, who did it, when, and the evidence taken at the asset — a thorough-examination report, a door photo and self-closer result, a PAT result, or a calibration certificate. It works with no signal and syncs when a connection returns.
What is in the pack?
A versioned record for one asset or the whole estate: the check, the name, the date, and the certificate, exported for the inspector, the fire risk assessor, CQC, the client, or the insurer. Earlier versions are kept when a record is re-issued.
