About us

Safety Training Woodworking was set up to respond to the needs of the woodworking industry by John Gubb in 1994.  John had for the previous 20 years been involved in the education and training of woodcutting machinists, joinery and furniture makers whilst retaining a link with industry and research ensuring he remained up to date with both industry and education.

Collaborative ventures with the Health and Safety Executive and local companies resulted in Safety Training Woodworking taking part in the safety video “The Cutting Edge” and providing supporting information for the HSE and others in legal proceedings.

Due to developing specialism it is now usual for Safety Training Woodworking to bring in training specialists from other training providers particularly in the area of CNC to ensure those providing the training have the depth of knowledge required in CNC control and programming.

John Gubb and associates hold the following qualifications:

• Teaching qualification from the University of Leeds
• TDLB, BTEC, D32, D33, D35
• IOSH National General Certificate as a Technician Member
• Advanced Craft in carpentry and bench joinery, machine woodworking and Full Technological Certificates in Construction and Machine Woodworking from the City and Guilds of London Institute
