Woodworking awareness day

Located at Skeffington Mill, the facility has the capability of housing up to 18 new and refurbished machines, all powered up and fully operational with extraction, making it suitable for this BWF seminar organised in conjunction with Didac training and assessment solutions.
 

Steve McGloin, a director at AMS, said: "The importance of a healthy work environment and safe working practices are critical in the woodworking industry. With powerful machinery it is vital that training and good working practices are put in place, and first class extraction systems are employed to preserve clean air quality for the workforce.

"From the first design stages, our new showroom and training facility has been constructed to take into account the health and safety of all who visit, train and work in it. As one of the leading servicing and training companies in the UK we applaud the BWF's efforts to continuously improve the working conditions, along with the health and safety of woodworkers nationwide."

The event included morning and afternoon sessions on controlling machinery safety risks, controlling health risks from wood dust, noise and material safety, and training and supervision for woodworking.
