Joiners: Staying Safe in Precision Woodwork and Fitting

Recognising the Hazards

Joiners work with a variety of hand tools, power tools, and woodworking machinery, all of which can cause injury if not used correctly. Risks include cuts, crush injuries, and exposure to wood dust, which can cause long-term respiratory problems. Working in confined spaces or at height to fit components can also present additional dangers, making safety awareness a vital part of the job.

Legal Duties for Employers and Joiners

Employers must comply with UK health and safety legislation by providing joiners with a safe working environment, suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), and proper training for tool and machinery use. Measures must also be taken to control wood dust in accordance with COSHH regulations. Joiners themselves must follow site safety rules, use PPE correctly, and ensure tools and equipment are maintained in good working order.

Essential Health & Safety Training for Joiners

Joiners benefit from training that addresses their specific risks, such as safe use of woodworking machinery, manual handling, working at height, and controlling exposure to dust and hazardous materials. With thorough training and adherence to safety procedures, joiners can carry out their work efficiently, protect their health, and deliver high-quality results without compromising safety.
