Guides to construction plant checks and registers

Written for the people who have to show a machine is safe to use: plant and site managers, supervisors and operators. Free, no account needed.

• Plant checks on site: what the law actually requires

  The operator's pre-use check, the PUWER inspection and the LOLER thorough examination are three different things. What each one is, who does it, how often and what has to be recorded.

• The plant pre-use check set

  A printable weekly pre-use check sheet for each common type of construction plant. Free to print and use.

• What a plant register should contain

  The fields a construction plant and equipment register needs, why each one is there, and a free template in Excel and CSV. Plus where a spreadsheet stops being enough.

• A sample plant register

  A week of daily checks on one machine, with a stop-work defect and its clearance, as the free register shows it.
