An Introduction to Power Press Training

Power presses have always been considered to be high-risk machines and it is essential that they are properly inspected, tested and maintained to keep operators safe from serious injury.

It is a statutory requirement that power presses are examined and tested by a “competent person” before they are put into use for the first time. Similarly, it is imperative that employees are provided with mechanical power press safety training.

This course is designed to train delegates in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act (PUWER 1998).

Our Power Press Safety Awareness course will cover:

  • Health and Safety Legislation
  • The requirements of PUWER 1998
  • Power Press machine safety guidelines
  • Power Press Mechanism
  • Types of Power Press
  • Film - ‘Power Press parts 1 & 2’
  • Testing and examination of presses and guards
  • Tool setting
  • Introduction to power press safety guards
  • Methods of power press guarding - F.I.A.T.T
  • Tool design, with regard to Health and Safety
  • Safe setting and tool layout
  • Accident causation and prevention
  • Summary and end test
  • Test results and feedback

How long is the course?

Our power press safety training course is typically one day in length. We build the course around your specific operation and the Power Presses that you have on-site. 

Who is this course for?

This course is required for any potential or existing operators of power press machinery including:

Delegates will be trained in accordance with the schedule of training laid down in the ‘Power Press Regulations’, and will be aware of other relevant legislation, i.e. Factories Act, Health & Safety at Work Act and recent European legislation (6 pack 1992).
