Machinery Safety Basics – PUWER

Training Course • Health & Safety Executive

About the CPD course

Machinery is used in many sectors to fabricate; handle and package industrial and consumer products. Everyone who works with machinery whether directly or indirectly need to understand the basics of machinery safety but not everyone needs to know all the details relating to the design. This course covers those activities regulated by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and provides delegates with a thorough knowledge of this legislation. The course will also give practical advice on how to evaluate the safety of existing machines and how to measure and evaluate noise and vibration risks.
