Safety

Safety is very important. So important that we're creating a wiki page for it almost 4 years after opening.

THIS PAGE IS ALL LIES BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST YET (except for the hospital)

Locations of equipment

First aid kits and fire extinguishers are located

• On the wall between the wood and metal shops
• On the wall near the bathroom in the electronics shop

Community

Looking out for each other in the shop and the labs and considering the importance of other people's safety while you, or they, work is very important. If you see someone working in an unsafe manner, advise them that you think they are being unsafe and offer advice if you can. There are not necessarily lifeguards in this pool, but you can and should act as one when you can.

Safety is not just about physical injury. For information about how to treat each other to make this a safe space, please see the Membership agreement.
