− | ==== Board and Area Hosts ==== | + | ==== What to do if you see someone doing something unsafe in the shop? ==== |
| + | * Say something, politely. |
| + | ** "Hey, do you need a hand?" "Can I show another way to do that?" - even "I learned a different way to do that. Can you tell me about that approach?" might open up the conversation. |
| + | * What if someone says they know what they're doing? (e.g. "I'm a professional carpenter." |
| + | ** Try appealing to their sense of community: |
| + | *** "You may feel comfortable doing that, but consider whether it looks dangerous, or someone who is a novice might emulate you and get hurt.:" |
| + | * Milwaukee makerspace's discussion of this topic: https://wiki.milwaukeemakerspace.org/faq#whoa_i_see_someone_doing_something_that_doesn_t_look_safe_what_do_i_do |
| + | ** "Hey, I am not sure that is the safest way to do that.” |
| + | * A script / example dialogue of how to talk to somebody would be helpful. |
| + | * A list of safety guidelines taped to the machine might help. |
| + | * If somebody dismisses your concerns, contact the area host and let them know. |
