The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations place an obligation upon all employers to ensure that equipment in the workplace is safe and does not give rise to risks to health and safety. For example any piece of machinery which has moving parts has to be adequately guarded to ensure that employees cannot place their hands and fingers into a mechanism likely to cause a serious injury. |
