Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), any organisation using work equipment has a legal duty to ensure it is safe, suitable for purpose, and maintained in a safe condition. For settings such as care homes, schools and leisure facilities, this covers a broad range of equipment beyond lifting gear – from profiling beds and shower trolleys to physiotherapy couches and evacuation chairs.
MoreAble Ltd carries out PUWER Safety Inspections and Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programmes across all of these equipment types, providing the documentation and certification your organisation needs to demonstrate compliance.
A PUWER inspection goes beyond routine maintenance. Our engineers carry out a structured assessment of each item, checking that it is safe to use, appropriate for its environment, and maintained to the required standard. All findings are documented and a certificate issued.
Equipment we inspect under PUWER:
Regular planned maintenance is the most effective way to reduce equipment failures, extend the working life of your assets, and avoid costly reactive call-outs. Our PPM programmes are tailored to your inventory and scheduled to ensure every item is serviced at the right interval.
Our standard PPM service includes:
Equipment that fails unexpectedly in a care home or school setting is more than an inconvenience – it can create immediate safeguarding risks and operational disruption. A planned maintenance programme means problems are identified and resolved before they become failures, and your team always knows what has been serviced and when.
MoreAble uses advanced Asset Management Software so our engineers can update and finalise service records in real time from site. Your compliance documentation is always current, always accessible, and always ready for inspection.
Tell us about your equipment and we will put together a maintenance schedule that keeps you compliant and your equipment running reliably. Fill in the form and we will be in touch.
