by Alan Milford, from the Community

This PUWER compliance inspection checklist helps teams verify the safe use of work equipment under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations. It guides users to record monthly equipment checks, confirm quarantine procedures are in place, and capture who conducted inspections and when. The template includes fields to log identification numbers and expiry dates, assess the condition of tools and equipment such as CAT and Genny, fire extinguishers, gas detection devices, generators, compressors, drills, road saws, continuity bonds, and first aid items. It also covers accessories, leads, and attachments, ensuring that critical safety gear is present, in good order, and within date. A sign off section captures the inspector name, date, and any items requiring attention or quarantine, supporting traceability and compliance.
