PUWER & LOLER Inspections in Mansfield

Machinery and lifting inspections across Mansfield

Mansfield and the Ashfield towns are full of small and medium engineering firms — machine shops, fabricators, joinery works, plastics and packaging — where the machinery is capable, well used, and frequently second-hand. That last point matters: PUWER puts the duty to make work equipment safe on the user, not the seller, and second-hand plant regularly arrives with guards missing, interlocks defeated or controls that do not meet current standards.

A PUWER inspection establishes where each machine stands: guarding, emergency stops, isolation, controls, mechanical condition and the training records that sit behind it. You get a prioritised action list rather than a wall of findings, so the dangerous items get dealt with first and the housekeeping over the following weeks.

Lifting equipment, height safety kit and air receivers can be covered in the same attendance. For a workshop with a couple of forklifts, an overhead crane, a compressor and a set of harnesses, that is one visit and one aligned set of renewal dates.
