Woodworking Inspections


HSE Inspection of woodworking premises 2013/14



 


From April 2013 HSE inspectors are carrying out visits to woodworking premises, mainly to check that:

  • woodworking machinery is being used correctly;
  • wood dust is being controlled;
  • operators and supervisors have received adequate training in the safe use of woodworking machinery and the correct use of local exhaust ventilation (LEV);
  • the LEV is suitable for the job and is being used and maintained correctly.
