PUWER Inspections in Leicester

Machinery safety inspections across Leicester

Leicester runs a lot of continuous process: food production, packaging, textiles and light manufacturing where the machinery is linked rather than standalone. That changes the PUWER conversation. On a line, the risk is rarely one machine in isolation — it is the transfer points, the nip points between conveyors, the guarding that has to be defeated to clear a jam, and whether isolation genuinely drops power to everything an operator can reach.

Jam clearance is where most line injuries come from, and it is the first thing we look at: can the machine be stopped and isolated quickly enough that nobody is tempted to reach in while it runs? An interlock that is easy to defeat will be defeated, and the inspection has to record that honestly rather than tick the box because a guard exists.

PUWER sets no fixed interval, which means the frequency has to be yours and it has to be justified. We give each machine a documented, risk-based interval alongside the findings — so when an inspector asks what your schedule is based on, there is an answer.
