The study focused on the development of a standardized and comprehensive safety framework for metal and surface laboratories in a university workshop setting. Since these laboratories are high-risk areas where students and staff go around interacting with complex machines, hazardous chemicals, and high-energy processes, the objective of the research was to identify the safety gaps and provide practical solutions that adhere to regulations. A qualitative case study approach was used that included reviewing literature, observing, evaluating documents, and eliciting informal feedback from users of the workshop. The study was made conformant to Swedish AFS legislation, the EU Machinery Directive(2006/42/EC), CE marking requirements, and behavioural safety concepts.
