A new ASTM International standard covering table saw safety has been developed by ASTM’s occupational health and safety committee ( E34 ). The standard, soon to be published as E3280, addresses a gap in U.S. standards, which address design safety of table saws but don’t directly address the end users. The new standard guide includes topics beyond design-related safety, including installation,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #11576 ###
