Hi,
Usually certain medications have a warning saying do not take if you are operating heavy machinery. This could be one reason because the medication might have side effects. To my knowledge, there is no piece of legislation that provides the ruling out of certain people handling power tools but if there was it would most likely be because of a mental condition or past convictions.

Because he is my son who somehow managed to avoid getting any form of talent or ability to work with tools.
He is the only person who I know of who has managed to hit himself in the head with a hammer while pulling out a nail. MikeGolf
Generally if someone has a physical disability or if they are on medication they won’t let them use power tools. But in most cases they are warnings from the manufacturer people can still buy them and use them at their home and no one will say a word. Chuck P
The main reason is health and safety and if not properly trained. The court might of made an order for the accused not to handle power tools. rossirvine2005
In what circumstances? Talking about personal use? Or in a job?
For personal use, there is virtually no situation where a person would be prohibited from handling power tools. Advisories on medicine caution people about handling power tools in order to protect themselves from lawsuits, but an individual can still do so to his own risk. No law prohibits someone from handling power tools, even on the basis of some kind of criminal violation. Anything that would require a court order would be serious enough to warrant some other, more enforceable penalty.
Now, if you’re talking about the job, job requirements may require some certification before use is permitted, or perhaps union classification. demos_jones
There is no legislation about this, nor do you need a “licence” or permit. The only reason why someone would not handle power tools is if they were physically unable to do so or on a medication which made it unwise to do so. Many medications have a standard warning not to drive or operate machinery if affected by drowsiness.
The other reason would be in employment where Health & Safety requirements (not to mention common sense) would say that an employer would not let an employee do so unless they have been suitably trained. Bardic
