PUWER Inspections with Pilz

What does PUWER Stand For?

PUWER stands for (the) Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.

What is PUWER?

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations place duties on employers or the self-employed to ensure that equipment and machinery supplied for use at work is suitable for the intended use, safe for use, used by people that have adequate training, is used in accordance with specific requirements and is accompanied by suitable health and safety measures such as protective devices and controls.

Compliance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) is necessary for those who operate or have control over work equipment. PUWER Regulations cover management requirements for areas such as maintenance systems, training and instructions and the physical aspects of work equipment itself, such as dangerous parts of machinery, controls, and isolation.  

During this webinar, our Machine Safety Expert provided an overview of all PUWER regulations and where they apply, in some cases using real-world examples. Click the link below to watch our free PUWER Webinar
