The document discusses machine safety and risk assessment in a wood processing safety course. It outlines the key steps in health and safety management including hazard identification, risk assessment, control measures, and monitoring. Specific hazards associated with machinery are identified. The importance of properly assessing risk is discussed and the risk assessment process is explained, including considering likelihood, consequences, and developing a risk matrix. Supervision requirements for safe machine access and operation are also covered.
