PUWER refers to the Provision and Use of Working Equipment Regulations introduced into UK law in 1998.

The PUWER regulation is designed to ensure that all equipment and machinery used in the workplace is designed and maintained safely in order to help keep people safe.

This means that all work equipment is suitable for its intended purpose, regularly maintained, only used by people who have received adequate training and inspected by a competent worker.

PUWER applies to both new and existing equipment. It places responsibilities on everyone using, and coming into contact with machinery and equipment, including employers, employees, contractors and suppliers.

Failure to comply with PUWER can result in accidents, injuries, and legal consequences, making it crucial for businesses to adhere to these regulations to maintain a safe work environment.

Who is this course for?

Understanding PUWER is essential for employers, managers, and employees in a wide range of industries who either work with machinery or manage those that do.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
