DfES: Teachernet : Sewing machines on a bench

sewing machine

The diagram shows recommended distances around sewing machines on a side bench. The diagram shows a corner bench but the principles can be applied to other situations, such as freestanding tables. The shaded area shows an overlap of 500mm, which is applicable if benching is back to back (for example, in a peninsular arrangement). The 800mm dimension shows the recommended distance from the centre of a sewing machine placed at the end of a run of benching to the end of the bench.

* distance between last sewing machine and end of run of benching.
