Machine Cleaning & Maintenance (PUWER)

Machine cleaning and maintenance activities introduce significant risks in engineering and workshop environments, including contact with moving parts, stored energy release, electrical hazards, sharp edges, exposure to cleaning chemicals and slips or trips around machinery. This risk assessment outlines clear, practical control measures aligned with PUWER and UK safety requirements, and is fully editable in Microsoft Word for easy adaptation to your specific machines, maintenance tasks and workplace layout.

A straightforward and effective way to control maintenance risks, protect personnel and maintain safe, compliant machinery operations.

Templates must be reviewed and adapted for each workplace by a competent person. Simple Safety accepts no liability for their use.
