London furniture maker 'advised' to stop using broom in factory
A furniture maker in the UK claims he has been advised by safety inspectors to stop using a broom to sweep his factory as it can cause serious harm to the health of workers.
Michael Northcroft, who says he is a furniture maker to the stars, was told by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that sweeping sawdust was exposing his 10 workers to "a substance hazardous to health, namely airborne wood dust".
