| Abstract |
This document on the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 1998) has been prepared by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) after consultation with industry. These Regulations, which deal with providing and using work equipment, are set out in full along with the Approved Code of Practice and guidance material. Since this Approved Code of Practice and guidance was written, some of the regulations have been amended or superseded by other regulations. This third edition has been amended to reflect these changes. The text of the regulations has been updated to reflect the latest legislation. References throughout have been updated to include the most recent publications available, and obsolete information has been removed. The Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and substance of the guidance remains unchanged. Contents: Preface; Notice of Approval; Background; Part 1: Introduction; Part 2: General; Part 3: Mobile work equipment; Part4: Power presses; Part 5: Miscellaneous; References; Further reading; Further information. |
