This is addressed to those with responsibility and/or control, directly or indirectly, for such machinery and its use. In addition to practical advice on safe use of machinery, this also documents subjects such as the provision of information, training and aspects of guarding.
Applies to most woodworking machinery except hand-held tools and encompasses operations involving wood, corkboard, fibreboard and composite materials. Styled presentation (eg bold, italics, margin coding) enables easy distinction between texts pertaining to the Regulations, the Approved Code and additional guidance provided.
