Health and safety training

Alongside the Health and Safety audit, we also offer any of the elements from the D&TA accreditation scheme. The accreditation is designed to ensure that all staff working in or around a DT department is fully trained and works by the BS4163 code of practice when using machinery and tools to minimise risks to health.

The training we provide follows the accreditation scheme, enabling any staff members, including technicians, TAs, and NQTs, to be fully trained, whether completing all or part of the training program.

The training is designed around the machinery in your school’s working environment. Depending on the program chosen and the number of machines, the training program will either be a one-day or two-day course. Some of the training options we have available:

  • Basic DT teachers’ day, including band saw, circler saw, pillar drill, sanding machines, power fret saw, hand tools and basic power tools (drills and sanders).
  • Turners’ day, including centre lathe (metal) and Wood lathe training.
  • Metal machining day, including centre lathe (metal), milling machine and grinding.
  • Power tools day, including router, reciprocating saw, circular saw, biscuit jointer, angle grinder, power planer, drills, and sanders.
  • Hot metal day, including brazing hearth, forge work, pewter casting, and aluminium casting.
