What is this guidance for?

Power presses are among the most dangerous machines used in industry. Amputation or serious injury usually results from accidents caused by trapping between the tools of a power press. The varied work demands on power presses and the wear to which the guarding mechanisms are subject means that the integrity of the guarding is constantly 'under threat'.

Safe use of power presses (L112) gives advice on precautions that can be taken to ensure the safe use of power presses and contains Part IV of PUWER 98 relating to power presses and sets out the Approved Code of Practice and guidance which accompanies Part IV to help you comply with the Regulations. It also contains
the regulations in Parts I and II of PUWER 98 which relate specifically to power presses, and ACOP and guidance on those regulations where appropriate.

Who needs to read this?

You need to read this booklet if you have responsibility, directly or indirectly, for power presses and their provision and use. Throughout this publication we have referred to the employer and self-employed people who have responsibility for providing power presses for use at work, or have control of the use of the equipment, as 'you'. Where the guidance is addressed to some other duty holder, for example a competent person, the text makes it clear to whom the guidance is aimed.

L112 Further Details

The Power Presses Regulations 1965 and the Power Presses (Amendment) Regulations 1972 (the Power Presses Regulations) were introduced to ensure that the risks from power presses were controlled. The Power Presses Regulations covered the assessment of the integrity of guarding mechanisms and key parts by regular and systematic thorough examination and testing of the presses and their safety devices. The 'daily' inspection of safety devices monitored their effectiveness. Supporting requirements, for the press setter to be trained, competent and appointed, ensured the safety of the setter and the provision of presses that were 'safe for use'. Part IV of PUWER 98 carries these requirements forward.
