CPD, IOSH & RoSPA Certified PUWER Training

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) are designed to keep employees safe and businesses compliant whenever equipment is used in the workplace. Whether it is a hand tool, a piece of heavy machinery, or an entire production line, PUWER governs how that equipment is selected, installed, and maintained.

This online course helps both employers and employees understand exactly what the regulations expect from them. Navigating the more than 30 individual regulations that make up PUWER can be complex; our training simplifies this, ensuring you know when work equipment is suitable for use, how to use it safely, and how to ensure it is inspected properly.

As an essential piece of health and safety legislation, this core course is suitable for new starter inductions and as a fundamental building block of a multi-year professional learning plan.
