The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) states that
"1) Every employer shall ensure that work equipment is so constructed or adapted as to be suitable for the purpose for which it is used or provided.

2) In selecting work equipment, every employer shall have regard to the working conditions and to the risks to the health and safety of persons etc etc."

Risk assessment is a big part of the management of health and safety at work which is an employers responsibility. Suggest that you request that a risk assessment is conducted for the application.
