If you need an experienced, reliable provider for your PUWER inspections, then Victory Machine Tools are perfectly placed to give you the peace of mind that you are meeting your compliance obligations.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) requires users of work equipment to carry out risk assessment and provide work equipment that is suitable for its intended task and can be used without putting persons at risk. The PUWER Regulations cover any machinery, appliance, apparatus, tool or installation for use at work (whether exclusively or not) - effectively it is anything used at work.

The 1998 PUWER regulations (updating the original 1992 PUWER Regulations) introduce requirements to ensure that, for reasons of health and safety, inspections are carried out:
After installation and before being put into service for the first time; or after assembly at a new site or in a new location to ensure that it has been installed correctly and is safe to operate
After work equipment has been exposed to any conditions causing deterioration, which is liable to cause a dangerous situation
At suitable intervals; and each time that exceptional circumstances have occurred that are liable to jeopardise the safety of work equipment. The results of these inspections have to be documented and kept until the next subsequent inspection is recorded. So in other words you should have a current inspection report at all times
The results of these inspections must be documented and kept until the next subsequent inspection is recorded
