Course Summary:

The aim of this course is to provide an in-depth overview of the inspection of Turbine Mounted Safety Equipment (TMSE) as required by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and defines where each regulation would apply.

Additionally, the course reviews the requirements of other relevant legislation and looks at the documentation required, and various inspection techniques used. It also explains why Turbines have certain equipment, their uses, and the importance of having regular inspections.

Each course delegate will be expected to complete a theory and practical examination. If successful, a certificate will be issued. This will help the Employer to address certain legal requirements by being able to help demonstrate employee competency. A detailed course handout is also provided for future reference.
