This British Standard code of practice provides recommendations and
guidance for persons responsible for planning services, equipment and
machinery and for persons who may use these in design and technology
facilities in schools and similar 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, textiles, graphics, electronics, technology, craft, engineering, manufacturing 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.
