New members need to attend an Induction. During the Induction, you'll learn about safely using the workshop, tools and equipment. After completing the Induction, you're free to use the Workshop and Equipment. To ensure the safety of you and others, please read and follow these rules: If you are unsure of anything, please ask. You are responsible for your own health and safety, and those around you. If you see somebody doing something unsafe, you are obliged to say something. This will protect them and you. Wear the appropriate protective gear when using equipment & machinery. Wear covered shoes, tie long hair back, and don’t wear clothing or jewellery with loose parts that might get caught in machinery. Respect the tools. If you are unsure how to use a tool, just ask. Use the correct tool for the job to prevent unnecessary breakages and return tools to where you found them. Keep clear of any person operating tools and machinery (bumping an operator could cause serious injury to you or the operator). All accidents or incidents must be reported to Staff, and recorded appropriately. If something is broken, missing or needs maintenance please tell us and write it on the Broken Equipment list. Respect your fellow makers. Be conscious of other people working around you and warn people if you’re about to make a loud noise. Most importantly, learn from your mistakes, and don’t be afraid of them.
