 | **User injury** | Contact with rotating parts and hot swarf can cause cuts, abrasions and burns. | Appropriate feeds and speeds should be selected to minimise stringy chips/"birdnesting". Brushes/etc are preferred for clearing hot chips. Gloves should be worn when handling chips directly. //NB: Gloves **should not** be worn whilst the machine is in operation - see below.// Eye protection should be worn. |
 | **Entanglement** | Long hair, dangling jewellery, loose clothing or gloves can become entangled with rotating parts, dragging the user onto them. Application of cutting oil using a brush presents an entanglement risk. | Loose clothing should not be worn, or should be covered with an appropriately secured apron. Long hair is to be tied back. Loose jewellery should be removed. Gloves should not be worn when the machine is in operation. |
+| **Lack of space/pushing by others** | Limited space can cause the user of the lathe to be pushed by other people in the space. | Area surrounding the lathe should be closed of when in use.|
 | **Slips and trips** | Spilled cutting oil can make the area around the machine slippery | |
