Use case

How a competent person would use Hovermarks

Tag each sling, shackle, and chain block with a QR code on day one. The competent person scans, the right LOLER Schedule 1 template loads on the device, even with no signal at a remote site. Complete the thorough examination on the spot. Any Category A or B defect triggers a quarantine work order routed to the duty-holder, and the asset is locked out of the register until rectified and, where appropriate, re-examined. For background on intervals, exceptional-circumstances triggers, and the competent-person definition, the LOLER thorough examination 2026 guide on the blog covers the regulatory side.
