Health and Safety Executive targets woodworking industries
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is targeting business within woodworking industries such as sawmilling, manufacture
of composite boards, and carpentry, as well as other industries where wood dust exposure can occur, with inspections to protect
the respiratory health of workers. The HSE said ventilation, protective equipment and appropriate guarding are some of the
measures businesses should consider.
