Certain regulations were introduced in 1998 aimed at protecting workers from equipment that wasn`t suitable for the task in hand. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations or
Puwer 98 required risk assessments to be carried on items of machinery, tools, appliances and any installation that was to be used at work. The
Puwer 98 legislation ensured that health and safety was met and required companies to conduct thorough risk assessments and inspections on its equipment. Many companies, however, find that conducting their own inspections can fairly problematic so enlist outside help from specialist safety experts. Safety services can be found online with companies located on the web such as Standl.co.uk offering a number of specialised services. The engineers at Standl know
Puwer 98 inside out and they can provide a detailed risk assessment, evaluate the risks, identify potential hazards and provide you with a thorough report. They can make your workers aware of
