    SiteKiln — Your rights on site. In plain English.
    SiteKiln

    Track every bit of kit on site, with PAT, insurance and calibration dates in one place.

    For site managers and small firms sick of losing tools to shifting-ownership arguments. Serial numbers, purchase dates, values and service dates in one PDF.

    Three reasons to keep an equipment register: tool theft claims (police and insurers need serial numbers), tax (capital allowances on tools), and PUWER compliance (proving your equipment is maintained). This tool covers all three.

    Disclaimer: This is a record-keeping tool. It does not replace formal PUWER inspections, PAT testing, LOLER examinations or manufacturer service requirements.

    Your Details

    What the law actually says

    • PUWER 1998 (Provision and Use of Work Equipment) requires inspection and maintenance records for work equipment. No records, no defence.
    • LOLER 1998 requires lifting equipment to be thoroughly examined every 6 or 12 months depending on use. Out-of-date examinations stop the kit being used legally.
    • Insurers routinely refuse theft claims without a serial-numbered inventory. Police won't recover untraceable tools.
