This British Standard provides recommendations and guidance for persons responsible for the safe use of equipment and machinery in educational and similar establishments and covers:

  1. health and safety management;

  2. planning services; and

  3. teaching areas, equipment, tools and processes.

NOTE Teaching areas includes preparation areas where materials are manipulated and processed, equipment is used and design and/or manufacturing takes place (e.g. food, catering, textiles, graphics, electronics, technology, craft, engineering, manufacturing, woodworking of all types, vocational workshops, motor vehicle workshops and computer areas).

This British Standard also provides recommendations for persons who provide instruction to learners, employees, trainee teachers and adults in the use of equipment and machinery in educational and similar establishments.

The recommendations cover the supply and safe use of equipment, machine tools and materials and chemicals, personal protection and safety management, with particular reference to the hazards involved.

This British Standard applies to schools of all types, including those maintained by local authorities, academies, free schools, independent schools and any type of school for learners with special educational needs. It will also be helpful to further education colleges, universities, teacher training establishments, adult education workshops, and workshops in hospitals and prisons.
