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.

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 Out-of-date examinations stop the kit being used legally.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.
