It's everyone's responsibility to be safe when operating the tools or machinery.
PPE is provided, and it is your responsibility to ensure your own safety.
Use safety glasses when using any saw, laser cutter or anything that makes sparks or debris. They are provided for you on the front shelf marked “SAFETY”. Please be sure to use them.
We also provide hearing protection for loud saw noises or boy bands on the radio. They are next to the eye projecton.
When carrying heavy plywood or metal, it's smart to protect your hands, so gloves are also provided on the same shelf the safety glasses are located.
In the event you do injure yourself, we have several first aid kits throughout the shop as shown in the pictures below
Above the kitchen sink
On the woodshop flammables cabinet
Next to the sound booth in the PC lab
There is an eye wash station next to the tool wall. Please check the water level and that the drain hose is in the sink. Yes you. Yes now.
Anything flammable needs to be stored in our flame cabinet. It is a sealed container that has a limited supply of oxygen provided it stays closed. If the door is cracked, you'll here an annoying beeping. This means you need to shut the door snug!
In the event there is a fire, fire extinguishers are located throughout the space. Look for the red “Fire Extinguisher” signs around the space. Our extinguisher locations are marked on the map below. Please take note of them right now so you will have a head start in the event you need one. ADD MAP to do list
