This short course provides you with an introduction to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, otherwise known as PUWER.
The course starts by explaining the purpose of PUWER, and then turns to look at the types of equipment that fall under this legislation. This is followed by an explanation as to the responsibilities both employers and employees have under the regulations.
Next, the course explores the common hazards associated with the use of work equipment; before moving on to look at different methods of guarding available to keep you safe from injury. Finally, the course explores the requirements with respect to equipment inspection and maintenance under the regulations.
This course is aimed at anyone in the workplace that uses machinery. This could include site supervisors or managers.
Understanding how work equipment is maintained safe for use, in a safe condition and suitable for the intended use.
For those needing further safety in construction training, courses such as Working safely, CDM Awareness and PPE should be completed alongside this one. For Supervisors that want to continue to enhance their skills, courses such as Introduction to Risk Assessment or Leadership Skills would make great next steps.
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.
