MESH carry out PUWER Risk Assessments for companies in a diverse range of industries throughout the UK.
Our Head Office is in Kent, with regional offices located in London, The Home Counties, The Midlands, and The North East.
When selecting work equipment, employers are required to consider the suitability of the equipment and working conditions it will be used in, as part of a risk assessment. You need to identify what risks exist in the premises in which the equipment is to be used, and what additional risks are posed by the use of the equipment. Further to this you need to have considered:
- maintenance and inspection requirements;
- competence and training of employees;
- controls and emergency stops;
- isolation from energy sources;
- preventing contact with dangerous parts of machinery:
- noise and vibration hazards.
Lifting equipment covered by the LOLER regulations for examination and testing is still work equipment and must be assessed for suitability and the way the equipment performs through a PUWER assessment.
