[Design and Technology] OHS space requirements in workshops

[Richard Bazeley]

I am sure we would all like to see that one. Most of the information put out
by the Department concerns the safe use of machinery. However there must be
some guidelines for architects for the design of the Trade Training centres
about how much space should be available per student in a Technology room.
It also comes down to how many the principal thinks should be in the room.
Were "practicable" I believe is the expression.
Below is a link to information that is available to NSW Industrial Arts
Teachers regarding machinery safe work areas.

Would anyone have information regarding OHS safety requirements and how to
calculate workshop space required per student (in Victoria)?
I have heard of a "blue book" in NSW which outlines all such information. Is
there some equivalent source in Victoria?
