Free Table Saw Safety Training Program

As a part of its alliance with OSHA, the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA) has released a new Table Saw Safety Training Program.

The training program is made up of five components (the following are links for downloading each component):

"Through our alliance with OSHA, we strive to provide KCMA members and others with materials, guidance and access to training resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety, especially in reducing and preventing exposure to amputation hazards," said Dick Titus, Executive Vice President, KCMA. "The Table Saw Safety Training program is one more tool available to manufacturers to enhance workplace safety."

The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association, headquartered in Reston, Va., is the principal trade association in the United States for manufacturers of kitchen cabinets, bath vanities, decorative laminate products and suppliers to the industry. The KCMA is committed to excellence in manufacturing through continued quality, advocacy and leadership.
