RESTON, VA – The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Assn., in cooperation with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, announced a new Table Saw Safety Training Program.

1. PowerPoint presentation to train employees;

2. a safety tip sheet;

3. a test for employees to take to demonstrate their understanding of the PowerPoint presentation;

4. an answer sheet; and

5. an evaluation of the trainer demonstration of the saw.
