Safety

These are the general rules:

• You are responsible for your own safety
• Only use tools you feel safe using.
• If you see something unsafe, STOP the operation. Anyone, and we mean ANYONE, can and should stop unsafe actions at the space.
• Use safety glasses, tie back hair, roll up sleeves, wear closed-toe shoes.
• Report any malfunctioning or worn piece of equipment.
• Follow posted guidelines in tool areas.
• Check for a contact on the piece of equipment, ask around, or email [email protected] to get training on a specific tool.
