SWSI
South West Statutory Inspections

PSSR, LOLER, and PUWER are statutory regulations that businesses must comply with in order to ensure safety and minimise downtime. Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR) focuses on the safe operation and maintenance of pressure systems, such as boilers and air compressors. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), pertains to the safe use of lifting equipment, including cranes and forklifts.  Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), addresses the safe use of all types of work equipment, from power tools to machinery.

Complying with these regulations is crucial for businesses as it helps to prevent accidents, injuries, and costly downtime. By adhering to PSSR, LOLER, and PUWER, companies can ensure that their equipment is regularly inspected, maintained, and operated safely. This minimises the risk of breakdowns and malfunctions, thus reducing the likelihood of unplanned downtime.

Moreover, a tailored service approach is essential in achieving compliance with these regulations. Each business has unique equipment and operational requirements, and therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable. By understanding the specific needs of a company, SWSI can be tailored to provide the most effective measures for maintaining equipment safety and minimising downtime.

While ensuring compliance can involve initial investments, it is ultimately cost-effective in the long run. By preventing accidents and breakdowns, businesses can avoid costly repairs, replacements, and legal consequences. Additionally, complying with PSSR, LOLER, and PUWER helps to maintain productivity and operational efficiency, reducing downtime and maximising profitability.
