Waste Responsibility for PUWER Inspections

Who Handles Waste Produced During the Work

When a PUWER inspection takes place at your premises, the specialist firm carrying out the work is the party responsible for managing whatever the job leaves behind. That duty covers all waste directly connected with the inspection itself: anything brought to the property for the work, items handled or disturbed during the assessment, and any material that needs to be removed once the inspection is complete. Sorting that waste, arranging its removal where necessary, and choosing a suitable disposal route are all matters belonging to the firm performing the inspection. That responsibility attaches to the business whose personnel attend your site to complete the booked service. It does not rest with puwerinspections.co.uk, which is the website through which you made your booking. The scope of waste will differ from one job to the next depending on the nature and scale of the equipment being assessed. Some visits may produce little or nothing at all, while others may involve the handling of tags, labels, documentation or consumable materials used during testing. Whatever the volume, the firm conducting the work retains full responsibility throughout the duration of the job and for the waste connected with it.

Putting a Waste Query to the Right Party

If you have a point to raise about waste that arose, or may arise, from the PUWER inspection booked through this site, that query should go directly to the specialist firm carrying out the work. That firm is best placed to give you a clear and accurate answer because waste management during a job is entirely within its remit. You can reach us through the enquiry form if you are unsure how to direct your query and we will pass your details on to the relevant party.
