Joinery, although it might not seem so initially, can be a very dangerous industry, and the job comes with a number of hazards. Common Dangers of carpentry include: Slips, trips, and falls Asbestos fibres Manual handling Dangerous equipment Loud noises Dust, bacteria, chemicals, and solvents

Carpenters are most at risk for injuries from the materials or equipment used during a working day. Most common injuries include hand fractures, eye irritation from sawdust, back injuries from poor posture or incorrect manual handling, and lacerations on the hands and arms. 

Carpenters, whether self-employed or running a business, are responsible for implementing suitable control measures in the working environment. This could look like this: Implementing and maintaining safe, professional equipment Prioritising staff welfare, mentally and physically Wearing the correct PPE and ensuring staff also do so Encouraging a clean, tidy, and safe environment (this also helps prevent trip hazards, or lost equipment)

HSE in carpentry simply stands for ‘Health & Safety’, with the ‘E’ standing for ‘environment’. HSE, whether that be documents, laws, or best practices, aims to reduce incidents in the workplace, prevent employee injury, and generally promote a safe working environment for carpenters.
