About Gary Shaw

Most manufacturing leaders experience the frustration of complex machinery safety compliance. Which often means PUWER, CE/UKCA, and other regulations feel like a constant burden, and unexpected downtime, unsafe practices, and expensive reactive fixes drain profitability. Maybe you can relate? Unfortunately, it happens all to often. We see it with our clients all the time. We've worked with manufacturers across the UK solving this exact issue, specifically to get full compliance, avoid costly fines, and reduce downtime - saving thousands every year. When that's sorted, you're able to stop worrying about- Unbudgeted costs from failed inspections - Loss of production caused by unsafe machinery - Expensive last minute fixes or legal penalties - Confusion over PUWER, CE/UKCA, or Risk Assessments And instead- Stay compliant with confidence - Create a safer workplace for your team - Maximize machine OEE through smarter, safer systems For example: A specialist machine builder needed CE/UKCA marking support, we took away the headache of completing the technical file guided them step-by-step to ensure their safety circuit design achieved the required PLr. Now they're fully compliant, confident in their design, and delivering the machine with less stress. And a leading drinks manufacturer had just refurbished a production line and needed a PUWER assessment. We identified key safety actions and provided clear, precise solutions to close the gaps. They now have a clear strategy to gain full compliance, have confidence in their operations, and are running the line efficiency without disruption. If you'd like to finally reduce the cost and complexity of machinery safety compliance, and instead get peace of mind, safer operations, and measurable savings, send me a DM with the word "SAVINGS", and I'll send you the details.
