Equipment Testing

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) place duties on people and companies who own, operate or have control over work equipment.  PUWER also places responsibilities on businesses and organisations whose employees use work equipment, whether owned by them or not.

The purpose of an inspection is to identify whether work equipment can be operated, adjusted and maintained safely – with any deterioration detected and remedied before it results in a health and safety risk.

Not all work equipment needs formal inspection to ensure safety and, in many cases, a quick visual check before use will be sufficient. However, inspection is necessary for any equipment where significant risks to health and safety may arise from incorrect installation, reinstallation, deterioration or any other circumstances.
