Having read through the latest H&S report and in particular the pieces about the accidents I would like to make and observation. In my opinion all of the accidents could have been avoided if basic precautions had been taken. Things like ensuring the machine has come to a standstill before walking away or opening a guard or doing adjustments. There is a comment there about the machine coming to a standstill within 30 seconds, for some of you with older machines this may not happen so extra vigilance is required.
Although we are not governed by the H&SE we are happy to use their guidance when it comes to woodworking machines.
