Abstract	Every year, the use of work equipment, including machinery, results in a number of accidents, many of which are serious and some fatal.

It is aimed at those who have responsibility for work equipment and how it is used, such as employers, managers, supervisors and those who hire out equipment for use in the workplace. Contents: Introduction; What is work equipment? What do I need to do? What risks are there from using work equipment? What can I do to reduce the risks? What do the precautions mean in practice?
