Does anyone have any information on how PUWER applies to employees who get a cash allowance instead of a company car? Are the legal implications the same? How as a comapny could PUWER be effectively implemented on these drivers and does anyone know of any prosecutions or case law in this area?
Many thanks

David,
In short, an individuals car is not "provided for use at work" and therefore does not fall within PUWER.
However, the company in allowing the individual to use his own car for work will have to ensure it complies with its s. 2 and 3 HSWA duties in respect of that car and the work undertaken by the employee using the car.
