The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)

The law is clear on the responsibility for work equipment. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) place a strict duty on employers to ensure that all equipment is:

•Suitable for the intended use.

•Maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, and in good repair.

•Inspected regularly by a competent person.

•Used only by people who have received adequate training.

A claim for a defective equipment injury is often made against the employer’s liability insurance, but in some cases, the manufacturer or supplier of the equipment may also be held responsible.
