PUWER inspections can feel like admin, but they’re a frontline defence against accidents. Embed them into routine maintenance so compliance becomes second nature.

Ensure every asset has a current risk assessment and that engineers know where to access it. Link control measures to a consolidated inspection checklist.

When defects surface, log them immediately and assign clear ownership. A responsive mechanical partner can design, fabricate and install corrective measures such as guards or interlocks.

Finally, review PUWER findings during monthly safety meetings. Tracking close-out rates keeps leadership focused on removing hazards before they escalate.
