Wood

Safe work on dangerous machines – it is possible!
And to prove it, we’ve set up a complete woodworking shop, where trainers provide comprehensive instruction on all aspects of woodworking and participants have a hands-on opportunity to see how those aspects fit together. The seminar content and the aids and equipment presented are selected in accordance with accident prevalence, and we ensure that the diverse range of applications is combined with maximum safety.

Other topics to which this facility lends itself are ergonomics, risk assessment, machinery noise, dust emission and fire protection.
