PUWER Regulations - Are you compliant?Are your sluice room macerators compliant with the Provision
and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 ?
Vernacare can help you achieve compliance
The ‘efficient state’ of a macerator refers to its general safe condition, for example: having enclosure which is not damaged or broken; no water leaks.
Checking whether a macerator is in ‘efficient working order’ means checking to ensure that everything designed for safety works as it is meant to. This includes: machine properly earthed, lid seal not leaking, safety switches and circuitry operational.
To be ‘in good repair’ a macerator needs to be Periodically Maintained and the results recorded in a maintenance log.
