Can anyone recommend a training provider to deliver a PUWER Assessors course at a plant in Glasgow?

What work equipment are you assessing? It depends what you want - simply training about PUWER Regs or more specific to the type of machinery you have? If so it could be 'how long is a piece of string' type training requirement. e.g. identify and understand the relevant standards, technical/engineering training etc

I am looking to train around 8 engineers to complete machinery risk assessments on machines in my plants. The equipment varies in age and complexity. I also need to train my design engineers in CE marking etc.

As I asked on a previous thread@ "What is a PUWER Assessment?" Useful reading: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg271.pdf

OK, dengland, there is a significant difference in the requirements for assessing complex & potentially dangerous machinery in the installed condition against the requirements of PUWER and that of equipment and machinery design engineers being competent to design to the machinery directive. I can't comment any further in open forum, because it may well be in breach of forum T's & C's. If you would like to discuss this further off forum via PM or email, I am more than willing to put you in touch with people who can help you, however, it could be said that I have a vested interest, because I am involved with companies doing both assessments for complex & dangerous machinery under PUWER98, & MD requirements, and training people to do this also.
