What is a PUWER Assessment?
A PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) Assessment is a comprehensive inspection designed to ensure that all work equipment used in a business or workplace is safe, suitable, and compliant with PUWER 1998 regulations. These regulations apply to all workplaces in Northern Ireland and the UK, requiring employers to take necessary measures to prevent risks associated with machinery, tools, and equipment.
What Does a PUWER Assessment Look At?
During a PUWER assessment, a qualified inspector will evaluate:
- Suitability of Equipment – Ensuring machinery and tools are appropriate for their intended use.
- Maintenance & Condition – Checking that equipment is properly maintained and in safe working order.
- Safety Measures – Verifying that necessary safeguards, such as emergency stops and guards, are in place.
- Training & Competency – Assessing whether employees using the equipment are adequately trained.
- Regulatory Compliance – Ensuring full adherence to PUWER 1998 and other relevant health and safety laws.
