Course Overview

Health and Safety in Surfwear Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Course Overview
Health and safety in garment and sports-apparel manufacturing covers fabric cutting, sewing, printing, adhesive use, packaging and supply chain operations — each with distinct risks. This course addresses manufacturing and supply chain management, not product design or marketing. You will review typical hazards in cut-make-trim operations, chemical finishing (inks, solvents, adhesives), manual handling of rolls and boxes, machine guarding on sewing and heat-press equipment, and fire loading in storage areas. UK references include COSHH for substances, PUWER for work equipment and general duties under HASAWA 1974, applied to multi-tier supplier chains. The syllabus supports brands and manufacturers improving supplier questionnaires, induction packs and joint audits. It does not replace statutory inspections, fire risk assessments or country-specific factory law overseas — but gives a structured UK-aligned baseline for coordinators.
