PUWER assessment
Although the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations do not specify that any machine or tool used for work has to be specifically assessed against these standards, many employers prefer to ensure that all the requirements identified in this legislation are documented.
Clwyd Associates employs health and safety professionals with an engineering and manufacturing industry background, with the competence to assess equipment against both the significant risks and the standards defined in the Regulations.
Case Studies
We were recently asked by a customer to assess all their engineering workshop equipment - they were planning to relocate it from one site to another.
Our assessment enabled them to identify equipment that needed to be replaced rather than relocated and also some of the actions that could be taken during the relocation to ensure compliance with the current regulations.
