This toolbox talk provides a concise, practical safety briefing for teachers, technicians and support staff who operate 3D printers and laser cutters in educational settings. It translates the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the technical specifications of BS EN 60825‑1 (laser safety) and BS 4163 (design and technology facilities) into clear, everyday actions.

Key topics covered include ventilation and fume extraction, personal protective equipment, interlock and safety‑shield checks, fire‑watch procedures, incident reporting and the importance of training. Each section contains a short purpose, an explanation of the hazards, the legal and standards basis, and a set of 10+ do and don’t actions.
By following this talk, staff will meet their legal duties under COSHH 2002, maintain compliance with BS EN 60825‑1 and BS 4163, and create a safer learning environment.
