PUWER inspection and assessment in Nuneaton

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

A rolling road holds a vehicle at speed while going nowhere: rotating rolls, restraint systems and a machine whose normal operation would be an emergency anywhere else. Around Nuneaton's testing country, PUWER 1998 reads the dynamometer as seriously as the dynamometer reads the car.

Work equipment we inspect

PUWER inspection and testing for Nuneaton businesses

Work equipment across the town runs from chassis dynamometers and test equipment through workshop machinery, lifts-adjacent kit and fabrication plant to the fork trucks and general equipment of the estates.

Dyno safety is restraint plus exclusion: vehicle tie-down systems proven for the forces a run actually creates, roll covers and interlocks guarding the rotating surfaces before and after runs, exclusion of people from the plane of any failure while rolls spin, and emergency stopping that kills a run faster than a run can go wrong. Our inspections test each element as installed, restraints, interlocks, stops and procedures examined against real operation, and findings recorded per machine in the written record of inspection.

PUWER FAQs

PUWER inspection and testing: common questions

Do you carry out PUWER inspections in Nuneaton?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Nuneaton and the surrounding sites, and inspect every kind of work equipment, restraints and rolls proven. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Nuneaton?
We keep availability across Warwickshire, so a Nuneaton 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.
