Workshop Safety
You need to process an unusual material and are not sure if you can do this safely in your workshop? You find it somewhat loud in your workshop and sometimes also rather dusty? You have retrofitted your old machine and would like to know if it meets machine regulations? You need to perform some welding for the first time and want to know if the guidelines are the same as for soldering? Should you have any of these or other questions on a material, a work process, technical measures, or safety in your workshop, please contact .
Areas with special hazards (e.g., chemistry lab, workshop, bio lab, chemical cabinet, gas bottle cabinet, etc.) and those that require special protective measures (e.g., laser safety goggles, safety goggles, hearing protection, etc.) must be marked accordingly
