What is P.U.W.E.R.?

Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations

PUWER replaces the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992 and carries forward these existing requirements with a few changes and additions, for example, the inspection of work equipment and specific new requirements for mobile work equipment. Many aspects of PUWER should, therefore, be familiar to you. Please visit the HSE website for further guidance/free downloads.

What does PUWER do?

In general terms, the regulations require that equipment provided for use at work is:
  • suitable for the intended use;
  • safe for use, maintained in a safe condition and, in certain circumstances, inspected to ensure this remains the case.

What do the Regulations require me to do?

Regulation 5 – Maintenance PUWER (Fourth Edition 2014 L22)

(1) Every employer shall ensure that work equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.
(2) Every employer shall ensure that where any machinery has a maintenance log, the log is kept up to date.
75. Where safety-critical parts could fail and cause the equipment, guards or other protection devices to fail and lead to immediate or hidden potential risks, a formal system of planned preventative or condition –based maintenance is likely to be needed.
79. Maintenance workers. Maintenance work should only be done by those who are competent to do the work.
