Posted By SteveS Hi, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe PUWER requires risk assessments. Risk assessments are driven out of MHSW, MHO, COSHH etc. Regards Steve

Posted By Andy In my opinion, when a machinery risk is highlighted on an assessment, specific questions need answering regarding suitability of machine to environment, to the person, guarding, CE marking etc, whether you call it a questionnaire or assessment is up to you, however, some of the questions that need asking are, Suitability for Task (Reg. 4), suitability/Maintenance Requirements (Reg. 5&6), Restrictions of Use/Training (Reg. 7,8&9), Guarding of Dangerous Parts (Reg. 11), Specified Hazards (Reg. 12), Controls, Control systems, Stop & Emergency Stop controls (Reg. 14, 15, 16, 17&18) We have a form for this which we call a PUWER assessment. Horses for courses, it works well for us. Regards Andrew
