Safe Use of Woodworking Machinery and Tools

The Safe Use of Woodworking Machinery and Tools programme has been developed to provide learners with the knowledge, practical skills and workplace competence required to safely inspect, prepare, operate, maintain and store woodworking machinery and associated powered woodworking tools.

Woodworking machinery remains widely used throughout construction, joinery, furniture manufacture, estate maintenance, agricultural workshops, educational settings, heritage restoration, maintenance operations and general manufacturing environments. The operation of woodworking machinery presents significant risks including entanglement, contact with moving parts, ejection of materials, dust inhalation, vibration exposure, noise exposure and serious cutting injuries.

This programme supports employers, employees, contractors, apprentices and self-employed individuals who are required to use woodworking machinery and tools safely and effectively within workplace environments.
