Safety Systems for Woodworking Businesses

In February 2022, the Heath and Safety Executive (HSE) sent an E-bulletin to Manufacturing Joinery and Woodworking Businesses stating that “HSE Inspectors will be visiting woodworking businesses across Great Britain to ensure duty-holders know the risks associated with woodworking and have effective controls in place to keep workers safe and protect their respiratory health.’ 

“Commencing in April 2022, HSE Inspectors will be visiting woodworking businesses across Great Britain to ensure dutyholders know the risks associated with woodworking, including wood dust, and have effective controls in place to keep workers safe and protect their respiratory health”

“Inspectors will be looking for evidence that employers have considered the control measures required to reduce workers’ exposure to wood dusts; workers understand that exposure to wood dusts can damage their long-term respiratory health; and that effective control measures are in place to protect workers from harm”
