Flow chart - work equipment selection

When choosing new equipment, particularly if it’s powered machinery, you need to ensure it’s suited to your environment and meets all the required standards. Follow our flow chart to ensure you get it right.

How does it work?

Our Flow Chart - Work Equipment Selection is a step-by-step guide to ensure your new equipment is introduced to your business safely. In particular, it takes into account some of the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

You can use our flow chart as a simple aide-mémoire for staff involved in selecting new equipment. It takes you from identifying your specific requirements to looking at alternatives, evaluating the risks, and finally buying the equipment.
