PUWER Equipment risk assessments

PUWER is the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 98 and requires users of work equipment to carry out regular risk assessments which are documented and kept on file. Most importantly, those risk assessments must address each of the Regulations under PUWER.
The regulations require that all provided work equipment is suitable for its intended task and can be used without putting persons at risk.
