Description
The guidance provides general information and good practice examples of minimising dust exposure from a very wide range of applications. These include technical solutions as well as improvements to work organisation or else simple (but often hard to achieve) changes in approach to cleaning activities.
The booklet also contains reports on the workshops conducted as part of the project, and at which the researchers initiated discussions between manufacturers and users of woodworking machines.
The brochure was prepared by the EFBWW (European construction and woodworking workers Federation), CEI-Bois and Usl7 (a prevention institute from Siena, Italy)
