As you are no doubt already aware, woodturning can be hazardous so it is essential to take steps to minimise risk of anything going wrong and protecting yourself should the worst happen.

One of our members, Paul Hannaby has produced a comprehensive web page dedicated to woodturning safety. We hope it will be of use to you as a source of reference.

There are also a number of safety related documents and pages on the AWGB website.

If you have any questions or suggestions for additions to this page, please contact us.
