Reasonable practicability and PUWER

Reasonable practicability was, at least in part, relevant to the assessment of both limbs of the duty on an employer, under regulation 12(1) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, to take measures to ensure that the exposure of a person using work equipment to any risk to his health or safety from a regulation 12(3) hazard was either prevented, or, where that was not reasonably practicable, adequately controlled.
