Machinery safety evidence
Clear guidance for guarding, work equipment and machinery changes.
Understand the relationship between physical guarding, protective devices, PUWER duties, current machinery standards and the conformity questions that can arise when equipment is modified.
Important distinction
No single guard, device or report creates blanket compliance.
The equipment, hazards, controls, installation, use, inspection, maintenance, information and competence must be considered together by the relevant dutyholders.
Our project documentation records the agreed engineering scope. It does not replace the customer’s wider legal duties or specialist advice outside that scope.
