Ensure Equipment Safety with Expert PUWER Inspections
Work equipment is everywhere—whether it’s a handheld tool, industrial machinery, or a fixed installation. But if it’s unsafe, defective, or not suitable for its task, the risks can be serious. That’s why PUWER exists: to ensure all work equipment used by employees is fit for purpose, safe to operate, and properly maintained.
Under PUWER, anyone who owns, operates, or has control over work equipment is legally required to ensure it is safe to use and does not pose a foreseeable risk to employees or others. These responsibilities extend to any organisation whose staff use work equipment—even if they don’t own it directly.
At LLI, we provide comprehensive PUWER inspections to assess whether your equipment:
-
Is suitable for the intended task
-
Is maintained in a safe condition
-
Has appropriate safety measures (e.g. guards, stop controls)
-
Is used only by competent, trained staff
-
Is regularly inspected and any defects are reported and acted upon
We work with a wide range of sectors and equipment types—from tools and machinery to complex mechanical installations. Our inspections give you clear documentation, peace of mind, and confidence that you're creating a safe, legally compliant working environment.
