The BWF Code of Conduct sets out the principles of good practice for a woodworking or joinery business. It is supported by a Guide to Compliance, which sets out how these principles might be applied practically to your business.
We are fully committed to helping all new BWF members meet the standards required in the BWF Code of Conduct inspection audit and below we have a selection of guides and policies that you can adapt and adopt to help your business comply.

To support members in helping to ensure the principles are embraced throughout their business we have a handy checklist for compliance (that covers many of your legal requirements as a joinery business).
Example of what a woodworking business could include within their fire risk assessment checklist
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsibility for ensuring that premises are fire safe shifted from the fire authorities to whoever has day-to-day control.
Reasonable steps must be taken to reduce the risk from fire and ensure that the occupants of the premises can escape safely should a fire break out.
The BWF Code of Conduct is supported by a Guide to Compliance, which sets out how its principles might be applied practically to a woodworking or joinery business so as to comply with the Code’s intentions.
