It is implicit in regs 4 and 5 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/2306) that an item will ordinarily be capable of constituting “work equipment” only if it is an item in respect of which the employer has a right of control sufficient to enable him to discharge the obligations under the regulations.
