What Is a PUWER Inspection?
A PUWER inspection is a detailed assessment of work equipment to confirm it is safe to use, properly maintained, and suitable for the task it is intended to perform. PUWER applies to almost all equipment used at work, regardless of its age, size, or industry.
The regulations place duties on employers and equipment owners to identify hazards, reduce risk, and ensure employees are protected. Regular PUWER inspections help prevent accidents, demonstrate compliance, and reduce the likelihood of enforcement action by the HSE.
