Hello
We're just having a bit of a 'freshen up' and change around of our woodworking workshop and wondered if anyone had any specific guidance on distances between equipment, I appreciate we have to take into account PUWER requirements such as access to isolation and access to 'stops', but I can't seem to find anything else.
Thanks
H

HAC,
It might not seem the most likely source of info for business info, but Teachernet has a section on equipment for design and technology that has details on preferred spacings of machinery.
Go to http://www.teachernet.go...ology/1_home.cfm?id=4010 for the detailed info.
regards,
martin

Hi HAC
Given the limited info provided in your question, I suggest that the principle issues you should give serious consideration to are:-
The type of work done;
The sizes of the raw timbers that are fed into the machines;
The means by which you get the raw timbers to the machines; &
Any possible conflict between timbers being fed into adjacent machines at the same time.
AND, always involve the machine operators in the planning of the workshop 'cos they know what really goes on.

Don't forget to think about lighting, shadows, heating & ventilation issues as well as extraction etc too.
Also waste removal.

Ergonomics - get some info from the HSE & the Ergonomics society - that should help noting that the appraisal should be done before positioning of equipment and test runs should be made - also involve the workers
