PUWER covers virtually all work equipment, from something as basic as a hand tool to a complex production line. Jamie Walton CMSE of Pilz Automation Technology explains: “The primary objective of PUWER is to make the work environment safe for everyone using or coming in to contact with work equipment and machinery, including employees, employers, suppliers, contractors and anyone else.”
Pilz can inspect a company’s machinery against PUWER and provide a comprehensive report for each item of work equipment. For any non-conformance highlighted, Pilz will conduct a risk evaluation, as specified in the standard EN ISO 12100:2010. Following that, the company’s PUWER assessors can present the findings and discuss these with companies.
