+[[Training Policy]] Blurb+
−If you want '''training''' on a tool that requires it, you can post on the relevant slack channel or mailing list, and someone will get back to you to arrange training. Some trainers have created online training in Google Classrooms which must be completed prior to in-lab training. You can also do this if you need help on a project or with a tool that may not need formal training but that you’re unfamiliar with anyway+* There’s a number of '''automatic lights''' as you come in, in the locker area which should be enough light to get you to any other light switches you need. +* If you’re the last to leave, '''turn off the rest of the lights''' including lights in the front room, fabtronics and kitchen.
* Show the card box and explain how it will use your same [[Key Fob]], will be enabled once you’ve passed training. This style of lock-out system will be expanded to other tools in the future. +* Feel free to use scraps from '''scrap bin''', or materials from the free materials shelf.
−* Laser is one of the few tools in the lab that we as that you '''not attempt maintenance on unless cleared by the laser team specifically to do maintenance"
−* See also [[Laser Cutters]]
* '''The following materials are BANNED from the entire lab: Chlorinated degreasers, and 2-part isocyanate paint. No cutting or sanding of Fiberglass, carbon fiber. Refer to the finishing cabinet for posted rules about bringing in new solvents, solutions and materials. Refer to the the binder of safety information.'''
* Basic PPE is available - safety glasses, face shields, ear muffs and disposable ear plugs, welding helmet etc. Feel free to bring in your own as well. Safety is your responsibility, but we very strongly recommend the use of PPE and will stop those doing anything bl
* If a machine breaks while you’re using it (or you find it broken), please tag it as '''out of order''' and what’s wrong post to the appropriate Slack Channel for the tool. No one will be upset at you for breaking something if you were using it safely, but they will get upset if you knew it was broken and didn’t say anything as that’s time lost we could have been fixing it for everyone else.
