PUWER inspection and assessment in Bridlington

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

Bridlington makes machinery, malt and food, and all three run on conveyors, elevators and lines working in dusty, busy conditions. PUWER 1998 requires every piece of that work equipment to be safe, suitable and inspected as it actually operates.

PUWER inspection and testing for Bridlington businesses

The town's work equipment runs from precision machinery assembly through malt production plant, conveyors, elevators and handling systems moving grain, to the slicing, packing and automated lines of food manufacture, plus the fabrication shops that serve them all. PUWER's five duties apply across the lot.

Conveyors and elevators in dusty processes deserve particular attention because dust hides wear and finds its way into the very devices that protect people: pull wires, interlocks, speed switches and guards around transfer points and elevator boots. Our inspection tests those protective systems as found, in the conditions they really work in, and the written record of inspection per machine tells you plainly what is right, what needs work and in what order.

PUWER FAQs

PUWER inspection and testing: common questions

Do you carry out PUWER inspections in Bridlington?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Bridlington and the surrounding sites, and inspect every kind of work equipment, from conveyors and elevators to packing lines. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Bridlington?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Bridlington 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.
