A one-day, in-company course on the two regulations that govern work equipment and lifting equipment: PUWER and LOLER, the hazards they address and the controls they require.
PUWER and LOLER training covers the two regulations that govern equipment at work: PUWER, for all work equipment, and LOLER, for lifting equipment. The course explains the hazards, the employer and employee duties, and the controls each set of regulations requires. KeyOstas delivers it as a one-day in-company course.
It is for the people responsible for work equipment and lifting equipment.
By the end of the day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Explain what counts as work equipment under PUWER.
Describe the employer and employee responsibilities for work equipment.
Outline the general requirements, including guards and protective devices.
Explain the requirements for maintaining machinery and for maintenance operations.
