The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 98) requires the duty holder, or a competent individual/organisation working on their behalf, to assess the risks to health and safety of any work equipment used within their undertaking. The risk assessment, which should take account of the type of work equipment, is aimed at identifying any electrical or mechanical hazards to which people may be exposed.

These Guidelines have been produced to assist the Duty Holder, or a competent individual/organisation working on their behalf, in the assessment of the risks to health and safety of work equipment in relation to electrical issues in order to help ensure that the work equipment is in compliance with PUWER 98.
