PUWER Inspections in Lincoln

Machinery safety inspections across Lincolnshire

Agricultural and food-handling machinery presents PUWER problems you do not see in a city machine shop. Augers, elevators and conveyors with entanglement points along their whole length. Grain plant that runs flat out for a few intense weeks and then stands idle for months. PTO-driven equipment where the guarding is the first thing to get damaged and the last thing to get replaced.

Seasonality is the specific risk. Equipment that sits still through winter and is then run hard at harvest gets pressed into service without the checks it would get on a continuous line, and by then nobody wants to stop for an inspection. The sensible time to inspect is in the quiet period, which is precisely when we prefer to attend.

A PUWER inspection covers guarding, emergency stops, isolation, controls, mechanical condition and the training records behind them, with a prioritised action list rather than an undifferentiated wall of findings. Each machine gets a documented interval based on how hard it actually works, not a blanket annual date applied to everything.
