Woodworking Safety Training Course, Machine Safety Checklist, PUWER Guide, Editable Slides Handbook (Digital Download)

WOODWORKING SAFETY — Ready to Run. Kept Ready.

A complete woodworking safety training course for workshops and businesses: editable slides, handbook, machine safety checklist and PUWER guide in one digital download. It helps owners, managers, supervisors and operators in Great Britain keep woodworking machines, wood dust, noise and handling under control, without wading through the regulations.

The course is built around one idea: Ready to run. Kept ready. Before every start, check Person (trained and authorised), Protection (guards, riving knife, fences and stops fitted and working) and Pick-up (extraction running, airflow good). Every week, the supervisor keeps the workshop ready: Walk, Fix, Prove. "Not ready, not running." These are our rules, not legal minimums. It draws on HSE guidance and four real cases published by HSE, summarised in our own words with the law actually charged. Worked examples are invented and labelled.
