Safety Week 2009 In Retrospect

Posted in Safety on May 09, 2009 - Share This Article

Well, another successful Woodworkers Safety Week comes to a close. It was a fantastic week for woodworkers to gain information on a variety of safety aspects related to woodworking.

Woodworking Safety Week is an annual event that attempts to bring shop safety to the forefront of our daily activities.

This was the second annual woodworking safety event which began last year after Marc Spagnuola announced that the first week of May was to be Woodworking Safety week. This was quickly embraced by the woodworking community and subsequently by woodworkers world-wide.

The woodworking community at large works together by writing blog articles, having forum discussions, creating video and podcasts, introducing new products and more with a focus on safety.

Here are some of the articles that were distributed this past week:

  • Risk Assessment
  • Working with a Router
  • Safety is No Joke
  • Hearing Protection
  • Tablesaw Guards: Pass and Fail
  • Router Injury
  • Hand Tools Make Dust Too
  • The Long & Short of Saw Dust

  • What You Don’t See Can Hurt You
  • The 12″ and 3″ Rules
