Standards for wood working shop
(OP)
Hi I posted this before in a different forum and didn't get a response. Maybe this forum with all the expertise in standards may be able to comment. Thanks
I am working as advisor to a school board. They have an industrial arts room where they want to use somwe wood working tools eg a 10" table saw, a planer , lathe etc.
Does any one know of a guide or standard for layout of the room for safety purposes? Is there a safety space envelope so students can use these tools without encroaching on each other danerously.

RE: Standards for wood working shop
From what you are describing you may have to look to OSHA for help with that, if your in USA.
The standard would be OSHA 1910. I was involved with this in my last job working on keeping the Press Room up to the required OSHA standards.
