Theoretically there may be some issues if you decide to produce new widgets at home in order to sell (or even give) them to others, but in practice I think you'd have to ring the HSE and beg to get them to come round and prosecute. Similarly, I expect that if you rang and said "I have what amounts to a machine tool workshop, do I have to follow the full elven safety rules" you'd have a hard time getting one of them to say "No, feel free, do what you like". On the other hand, I'd be somewhat surprised if they turned up on your doorstep one day. Antonio No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
