Description

Who should take this PUWER training course?

If a job role requires you to use equipment at work, then being familiar with what's covered under PUWER is much needed. If you look after equipment or employ those that do then looking after their health and safety is legally required by law.

Course Aim

The aim of the PUWER Training course is to make you aware of the measures and control one can use to stay safe while using particular types of equipment that fall under the PUWER Regulations.

Course Content

This course is made up of the following modules:

  • Introduction

    Introducing the topic, emphasising the potential dangers of working with equipment in the workplace and the importance of taking steps to control the risks.

  • Module 1 - An Introduction to PUWER

    This section introduces the PUWER regulations, lists examples of which equipment is covered, and lists the key duties placed on employers and employees.

  • Module 2 - Identifying and Reducing the Risks

    This section of the course provides guidance for recognising risks, taking appropriate measures and reducing the risks.

  • Module 3 - Equipment Maintenance

    In this final section, you’ll cover the responsibilities associated with manufacturing and buying equipment and the guidelines for maintenance and inspections.

Learning Objectives

Once completed the course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the key requirements of the PUWER regulations
  • State what equipment is covered
  • Identify key duties and responsibilities
  • Recognise the key risks associated with using work equipment
  • Identify ways of reducing the risks when using work equipment
  • Take appropriate action to maintain safety.

Course Duration

This course should take approximately 35 minutes to complete, but ultimately this is dependent on you as the learner.

Assessment

On completion of the course, you will be required to take an online assessment that will consist of 15 multiple-choice questions.

Successful candidates will have scored 75% (12) or above and will be given the option to print the certificate directly from the computer printer.

PUWER Training Certification

On successful completion of the online course assessment, you will be able to print/save your PUWER certificate. In addition to this, an email is sent to the candidate containing a link to the certificate.

This is the simplest, most convenient way to achieve compliance. Also, a QR code has been added to the certificate, which can be scanned by a smartphone to establish the certificate’s validity.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
