Is the machinery provided by The Workshop Press Company compliant with PUWER and suitable for my workplace requirements?

Understanding the distinctions between product conformity markings (CE and UKCA) and the operational regulations such as PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) is essential for our clients. While CE and UKCA markings ensure that machinery meets specific safety, health, and environmental protection standards before being placed on the market, PUWER regulates the ongoing use and safety of that equipment within the workplace in the UK.

PUWER is an operational responsibility, meaning it’s the employer’s duty to assess and ensure the machinery is used safely and is suitable for the intended tasks within their specific working environment. This includes regular maintenance, proper training for users, and any necessary adjustments to meet the workplace’s unique requirements.

Our machinery can be adapted and configured to suit your particular working environment and to meet your specific PUWER requirements. This commitment underscores our dedication to not only delivering high-quality machinery but also ensuring its safe and compliant use in your specific workplace context
