Work Equipment The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) states that all work equipment must meet essential safety requirements and safe systems of work must be established. Risks from work with display screen equipment must be assessed and controlled.

Course content: • The hazards and risks arising from the use of work equipment • The hazards and risks associated with the use of electrical equipment and systems operating at mains voltages • The measures that should be taken to minimise the risks Permit to Work Instructions or procedures are adequate for most work activities, but some require extra care. A “permit to work” is a more formal system stating exactly what work is to be done and when and which parts of the work are safe. A responsible person should assess the work and check safety at each stage. Employees undertaking the job sign the permit to show that they understand the risks involved and what precautions are necessary. This occupational safety training course will enable managers to assess the requirements of a particular job or task and ensure that Permit to Work documentation is completed correctly – and that employees undertaking hazardous activities are competent to do so safely. Who should attend? All employers must be aware of the regulations concerning more hazardous work activities, and ensure that they understand their duties and obligations in law.
