Report
I recently attended two zoom meetings on PUWER presented by Warren Spiers. The presentations were well received by all, providing information on CE marking, certificate of conformity, CE Audits, inspections, competency of inspectors, etc. The PUWER meetings consisted of two presentations, the first ran through all the points noted in a logical sequence. On completing that meeting, a link is sent via email for the next presentation. The second was a recap on the points from the first, followed by a question and answer session. Warren answered all questions raised with great detail. If you require

The Level 1 PUWER Awareness course I attended was very informative. It provided a good amount of information, without providing too much to take in. Warren was extremely knowledgeable on the subject and managed to relate some of the points discussed, to the safety issues faced by the participants, in their various roles. As such, I would strongly recommend Spiers Engineering Safety for anyone who requires safety training or assistance with anything related to engineering safety.

We've used Spiers Engineering on a few occasions when we need to know that our machinery is safe and when we've required conformation of CE markings. Their approach is well handled by the use of a bespoke customer portal that logs every aspect of the process so you know exactly which areas require attention. If you are unsure of a niggling PUWER safety issue then I highly recommend them.

Workshops are a great way of gaining great knowledge, well informed people and relaxed meeting area. Will be going to more workshops. Would recommend to all businesses requiring PUWER inspections.

I have enjoyed easy interaction with both their staff, and their various software tools, and it is comforting to know that there is somebody out there that you can go to for answering
