Elevate the Legal Compliance of your Business

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) are two sets of UK Health and Safety legislation. They place a legal duty on every employer to ensure that any person operating work equipment – such as forklift trucks – are properly trained and competent in their safe use, understand the potential risks and take the necessary precautions. This training should cover the specific methods for using the equipment and the health and safety measures to be taken.

PUWER is a broader regulation and covers all work equipment, mandating that the equipment must be suitable for the task, well-maintained, and used safely.

LOLER specifically applies to lifting equipment and its operation. It requires employers ensure that all operators are trained and competent to operate material handling equipment appropriate for the intended task.
