Work equipment and machinery

This page gives general information on how HSE ensures that risks to workers' health and safety
from the supply and use of work equipment and machinery are properly controlled.

More detailed information can be found in HSE published guidance or in other industry specific guidance.

Generally, work equipment is any equipment which is used by an employee at work. Therefore the range of equipment is extremely wide and could cover everything from a spanner to a tower crane.
