Safety and Health in Early-Childhood Furniture Manufacturing

This guided tour of a manufacturing facility in Wabasso, MN, gives participants a firsthand look at how early-childhood furniture is engineered and built for the health, safety, and welfare of the children who use it. Participants will observe the edge- and corner-rounding process that eliminates sharp hazards, the UV-cured acrylic finishing line that achieves GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions, and the quality-assurance checkpoints that verify every piece leaves the facility structurally sound and safe. The tour also covers the scrap-wood recycling program as an example of responsible manufacturing practice.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Observe the edge and corner rounding process and identify how this manufacturing technique reduces injury risk for children using the furniture in classroom and group-care settings.
• Understand the UV-cured acrylic finishing process and explain how GREENGUARD Gold certification indicates low chemical emissions, supporting healthy indoor air quality in early-childhood spaces.
• Observe quality-assurance inspections and check the system to identify how it verifies structural integrity and safe working conditions before furniture ships to a facility.
• Identify scrap-wood recycling practices — including reuse as agricultural bedding — and describe their role in sustainable, responsible manufacturing.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
