Tier 1 Cold Metals Authorization
In the cold metals area we have grouped together authorizations on the non-precision cutting tools into a single authorization called "Tier 1". The Central Machinery Metal Bandsaw, DoAll Drill Press, Bench Grinder (6in), Belt Sander, Johnson Bandsaw are under a Tier 1 certification process. The session covers basic operation and safety on the machines.

How to become a Certifier
We want as many people available to do Tier 1 certification as we can get. The idea is to promote safety, and get people used to the sounds that a machine tool cutting well makes. Ed has a script that he's working on, and will make available. New authorizers get authorized to authorize others by (1) having some amount of presence in the shop and (2) closely following the "script" during EITHER a "dry-run" authorizing session given to an authorized authorizer -- or conducting a real-live authorizing session while being observed by an authorized authorizer. During such a session, the observing authorizer should _not_ have to speak. Obviously if the new authorizer-to-be has _significant_ problems in communication of the content of the "script", the observing authorizer will contribute to the discussion. For the new authorizer-to-be it's a test, not an opportunity for team-teaching.
