PUWER Inspections across Lancashire
Lancashire is defined by its aerospace and defence sector — BAE Systems at Warton and Samlesbury, Safran Nacelles at Burnley, and a dense supply chain of precision engineering firms throughout the county. Preston's Roman Way Industrial Estate, Burnley's Heasandford, and Blackburn's Whitebirk Industrial Estate collectively represent some of the UK's highest concentrations of autoclave-based composite manufacturing and CNC machining, all generating significant PSSR, PUWER, and COSHH LEV inspection requirements.
Safe-Lee Inspection & Consultancy is based in Irlam, with fast access across Lancashire via the motorway network. We provide puwer inspections for employers in all the major towns and business parks listed below — issuing clear written reports that document all findings, classify defects by risk, and specify any remedial timescales required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do precision engineering firms in Lancashire need PUWER inspections for CNC machinery?
Yes. Precision engineering firms across Lancashire's aerospace supply chain — on Roman Way in Preston, Whitebirk in Blackburn, Heasandford in Burnley, and across the M65 corridor — must ensure all work equipment is safe, suitable, and maintained under PUWER 1998. For CNC machining centres, lathes, milling machines, and grinding machines, a risk assessment determines the appropriate inspection frequency. For equipment with specific risks — particularly power presses, guillotines, and metal-forming machinery — regular inspection by a competent person with written records is required. PUWER 1998 requires that all machinery has adequate guarding and that guards are inspected as part of any formal examination. Safe-Lee provides PUWER inspections for engineering businesses across Lancashire.
