Gives recommendations and guidance for persons responsible for planning services, equipment and machinery and for persons who might use these in design and technology facilities in all types of educational establishments.

This British Standard code of practice provides recommendations and guidance for persons responsible for planning services, equipment and machinery and for persons who might use these in design and technology facilities in all types of educational establishments.

Design and technology facilities include all teaching areas and preparation areas where materials are manipulated and processed, equipment is used and design and/or manufacturing takes place (e.g. food, catering, textiles, graphics, electronics, technology, craft, engineering, manufacturing, woodworking of all types, vocational workshops, motor vehicle workshops and computer areas).

NOTE The recommendations cover the supply and safe use of equipment, machine tools and materials and chemicals, personal protection and safety management, with particular reference to the hazards involved.
