Health and safety processes and procedures are the backbone of a successful Men’s Shed, ensuring that the warm spirit of community and craftsmanship is supported by a secure environment. Because Men’s Sheds bring together members of varying skill levels to work with power tools, heavy materials, and industrial equipment, clear safety guidelines—such as mandatory tool inductions, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, and regular risk assessments—are essential to prevent accidents and injuries. Adhering to these established procedures not only protects individual members and visitors from workplace hazards, but it also upholds the Shed’s duty of care, protects its liability, and ensures that all members can focus on sharing skills, building projects, and enjoying camaraderie with complete peace of mind.
