Our woodworking classes place a strong emphasis on basic safety to ensure that every student understands the importance of maintaining a safe working environment. Given the nature of woodworking, where students handle sharp tools and power machinery, we prioritize safety protocols from the very start. This foundational focus on safety helps prevent accidents and encourages responsible tool usage.
Students are introduced to essential safety rules, which include proper handling and maintenance of tools, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) like goggles, ear protection, and dust masks, and understanding the hazards associated with specific tools.
Safety isn’t just a one-time lesson; it’s an ongoing conversation throughout the course. As students’ progress, they continue to revisit safety practices to reinforce their understanding and adapt to new tools and techniques. This commitment to safety creates a culture of awareness where students are not only prepared to use woodworking tools effectively but also responsibly
