    This risk assessment form evaluates the hazards associated with using sewing machines at a college. It identifies potential hazards such as contact with the needle or moving parts and static body positioning. Control measures include ensuring guards are in place to prevent contact with the needle and advising users to take regular breaks. With these controls, the residual risks are considered very low. The assessment was completed by Jake Durrant, a senior lecturer, on December 10, 2012.
