Introducing a new health and safety bulletin: Blade guard replacement options for table saws, available at worksafebc.com.
Most new table saws are supplied with blade guards, but in many cases – especially when a saw is purchased second-hand – the guards may have been removed, putting operators at serious risk of injury.
Employers are responsible for ensuring saws are equipped with effective safeguarding. This bulletin discusses types of guards as well as options for replacement and aftermarket guards.
