This guide, writ­ten by John Glover, a highly expe­ri­enced and well respected con­sul­tant in this area, cov­ers the appli­ca­tion of the Machinery Directive and the Provision of Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). Aimed at machin­ery users, buy­ers, spec­i­fiers, con­sul­tants, man­agers and engi­neers, this book pro­vides insight and direc­tion in the appli­ca­tion of these impor­tant requirements.

The guide will help you to under­stand how your respon­si­bil­i­ties have changed and will help you to meet the legal require­ments of the new Machinery Directive.

The guide also pro­vides infor­ma­tion on the appli­ca­tion of risk man­age­ment tech­niques in the workplace.
