Machinery & Equipment to PUWER requirements

Name / Type of Equipment
Approximate Age of Equipment
Description of Equipment
Regulation 4: Suitability of Work Equipment Equipment must be suitable for the purpose for which it is provided, sited in a suitable location/environment and suitable for purpose.
Non-conformance
Regulation 5: Maintenance Work equipment must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. Frequency of maintenance should be suitable. Maintenance Operatives must be competent. Maintenance records are strongly recommended for High Risk equipment.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 6: Inspection Equipment must be inspected following installation and regularly, where it is exposed to conditions which may cause it to deteriorate. Inspections must be recorded. This does not include inspections under LOLER etc.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 7: Specific Risks Where the equipment involves specific risks, use of the equipment must be restricted to certain operatives tasked with using it. These operatives must be suitably trained. Maintenance / servicing must only be carried out by approved, trained persons.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 8: Information & Instructions Adequate H&S information and written instructions (where appropriate) must be available and provided to operatives. Instructions must cover normal and foreseeable-abnormal use. Instructions must be in a suitable language.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 9: Training Adequate Training must be provided to all users of equipment. Competency evaluation should be carried out. Records must be available. Any users of self-propelled equipment must have separate Driver Training.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 10: Conformity with Community Requirements CE Marking and a Declaration of Conformity / Incorporation must be demonstrable on new equipment. A suitable user manual should be provided, as required per CE marking.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 11: Dangerous Parts of Machinery Suitable guarding or other measures must prevent access to dangerous parts of machinery Fixed guarding must fully enclose & require a tool for removal. Interlocks etc. must effectively prevent contact with moving parts.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 12: Protection Against Specified Hazards Suitable measures must be taken to prevent, control or minimise the effects of hazards from the equipment. Including: Falling materials or parts; Ejected materials; Disintegration/rupture of parts; Pressure build-up; Release of heat; Explosion; Etc.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 13: High or Very-Low Temperatures Surfaces or parts with hazardous temperatures should be guarded, shielded, or otherwise protected. Where this is impracticable, there must be suitable training, warning signs, supervision & instructions.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 14: Controls for Starting or changing Operating Conditions The equipment should have a specific control to re-start after a stoppage, or specific controls to change operation (e.g. direction, speed). These must require positive activation.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 15: Stop Controls Stop controls must stop equipment in a safe condition - stopping, or preventing access to all hazardous parts.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 16: Emergency Stop Controls Emergency Stops must be readily accessible at point(s) of use. Must be located at every control point and other suitable locations. Stops must cause the machine to shut down in a safe manner.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 17: Controls Controls must be readily identifiable - it must be clear what each control does. The location of controls must be located to prevent risk to the individual using them or others near the equipment. The control operator must be able to ensure that no-one is at risk while they operate the controls.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 18: Control Systems Control systems must be designed to ensure that the equipment 'Fails to Safe'. Any damage to controls, or foreseeable fault or issue, should not allow the equipment to increase risk.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 19: Isolation from Sources of Energy There must be suitable means to isolate machinery from all of it's sources of energy. The isolation points must be clearly identifiable and readily accessible. E-Stops and Interlocks are not considered isolation. Isolation points should be lockable where necessary.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 20: Stability Equipment must be suitably stable so as to prevent toppling, overturn or collapse.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 21: Lighting Lighting must be adequate for the needs of the tasks undertaken. Lighting should be maintained in a suitable condition. Always consider permanent fixtures where access is regular.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 22: Maintenance Operations Equipment must be designed / set-up in such a manner as to prevent particular risks during maintenance operations. Maintenance should be possible without exposure to new risks. Measures must exist if new risks are created by maintenance operations.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 23: Markings Equipment must be marked in a clearly visible manner with any marking appropriate for reasons of health and safety. E.g. Control functions, rotational direction, speeds, pressures, pipework contents, substances contained, Working Load Limit (WLL) for lifting equipment, Etc.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 24: Warnings Warnings must clearly and unambiguously signal danger. Pictograms, lights, audible alarms, hazard markings & signage must be used as necessary.
Non-Conformance
Click if this equipment is 'Mobile Work Equipment' to display Regulations 25-30
Regulation 25: Employee Carried on Mobile Work Equipment Risks to the operator and other workers due to the mobile work equipment travelling must be controlled. Workers must be protected from falling out or unexpected movement. There should be suitable guards or barriers to ensure adequate separation between people and the wheels and tracks.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 26: Rolling Over of Mobile Work Equipment Equipment which is mobile must be prevented, via adequate means, from rolling over. Restraining devices may be required for operatives riding on the equipment.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 27: Overturning of Fork Lift Trucks There must be effective protection of FLT operators to prevent them from being crushed between the truck and the ground in the event of an overturn.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 28: Self Propelled Work Equipment Where there is risk the equipment: Must be prevented from unauthorised startup. Must have collision mitigating features. Must have braking/stopping devices. E-Stops as necessary. Suitable field of vision for the driver. Is suitably lit. Has fire fighting equipment as required.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 29: Remote Controlled self-propelled work equipment Must stop automatically when leaving the control range. Should have features to prevent crushing or impact. Does not include pendant controlled equipment. All controls should be hold-to-run. The equipment must safe-stop.
Non-Conformance
Regulation 30: Drive Shafts Equipment fitted with a drive-shaft must have effective measures to prevent seizure of the shaft. The shaft should be suitable for application in power transmission capability and length. There should be means to lubricate or otherwise maintain. It should rest on cradle or similar when not in use to prevent damage or wear.
Non-Conformance
