PUWER inspection and assessment in Coalville

Inspection and testing of work equipment against the five PUWER duties by an independent competent person

The loading bay is where a warehouse concentrates its machinery risk: dock levellers cycling under trailers, conveyors feeding the doors, shutters, restraints and charging equipment all working the same crowded metres. PUWER 1998 covers every piece of it, and Coalville has more dockfaces than most towns.

Work equipment we inspect

PUWER inspection and testing for Coalville businesses

Work equipment across the town's estates runs from dock levellers, vehicle restraints and door systems through conveyors and sortation plant to the compressors, balers, wrappers and workshop machinery behind the racking.

Dockface equipment earns specific attention because people and machinery share its space under time pressure: levellers whose lip and hinge wear goes unseen, conveyor nips at transfer points, interlocks bridged to speed a turnaround. Our inspections work the bay as a system, each machine tested against its duties, guards and interlocks proven live, and the written record of inspection stating what was found at the exact equipment an incident investigation would examine first.

PUWER FAQs

PUWER inspection and testing: common questions

Do you carry out PUWER inspections in Coalville?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Coalville and the surrounding sites, and inspect every kind of work equipment, dockface and back-of-house plant. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Coalville?
We keep availability across Leicestershire, so a Coalville visit is usually within a couple of working days, sooner after a repair or modification. Call 0330 043 8191 to book around your production.
How often must work equipment be inspected under PUWER?
There is no single fixed interval. PUWER sets the frequency by the equipment, its risks and where it works, so hard-used or outdoor machinery is inspected more often, guided by the maker's advice and your risk assessment. The HSE explains this risk-based approach in its PUWER guidance.
Is PUWER a legal requirement?
Yes. Under PUWER 1998 whoever provides or controls work equipment must keep it suitable, maintained and inspected by a competent person, and that duty stays with the end user, including equipment that is hired in.
Does a PUWER inspection produce a certificate?
No. PUWER calls for a written record of inspection, not a certificate, naming each item, its condition, any defect and the date the next inspection is due. We keep that record clear and defensible, and it is what an HSE inspector asks to see.
Who can carry out a PUWER inspection?
A competent person with the knowledge and experience to know what to look at, what to look for and what to do about any defect. Simple low-risk items can be checked in-house by trained staff, while higher-risk machinery is better inspected by an independent competent person.
What does a PUWER inspection cover?
Whether the equipment is suitable and correctly installed, the condition of guards, interlocks, controls and stop devices, and any deterioration that has set in. Defects and the action needed are written down so nothing is lost between inspections.
How is PUWER different from LOLER?
LOLER covers lifting equipment and ends in a Report of Thorough Examination, while PUWER covers all work equipment and ends in an inspection record. They overlap on lifting machinery, so we sort each item to the right regime and inspect it once, correctly.
