Woodworking Safety Equipment: Our Woodshop Essentials

What woodworking safety equipment do you need on hand to protect yourself during your DIY projects?

Woodworking Safety Gear

There are seven pieces of woodworking safety equipment I’d recommend that you have in your arsenal to complete your building and DIY projects.

Safety Goggles or Glasses

When working with wood, a lot of dust and debris is created. By using safety glasses or goggles it will keep the particles from getting into your eyes.

Sound Protection (Earplugs and Earmuffs)

Over a long period of time this noise can damage your hearing. Earplugs and earmuffs can prevent this damage.

Dust Mask or Respirator

Cut Resistant Gloves

Protect your hands from splinters and cuts by using cut resistant gloves! Keep in mind that gloves like this are not fully cut proof, for example if you are using an electric saw.
