Equipment Overview
3 commandments
1. Safety First
Safety First is the rule we hold highest of the three. This rule applies to both the safety of you as well as others
Keeping yourself safe in the Vault is very important, as there are possibilities for accidents if you don't follow the safety guidelines. Safety starts with you so don't depend on others to keep you safe. There is a first aid kit located on the south wall near the Wood Shop door.
The following rules must be followed at all times.
See the following safety rules for the Vault:
- Safety glasses must be worn when working at the jewlery station.
- No horseplay in the Vault.
- No open toed shoes.
- Food or drink is allowed when not operating machinery as long as it is kept a safe distance away from the machines.
- Do not attempt to operate machinery in the shop that you have not been certified on by GFU engineering personnel.
- Do not argue with volunteers or shop staff. Contact Justin Johnson if you have issues that need to be resolved.
- Reset the space. Make the area you are working in ready for the next person using the dust broom and vacuum cleaner.
- The first aid kit is located in the machine shop, next to the wood shop doors. There is a second kit located on the east Maker Hub Wall near the Tool Room.
- If you see a safety violation inform the person immediately and encourage them to comply with the policies
- Don’t do anything that would require an additional rule to be added to this list.
2. Reset the Space
The Vault has a specific organization to it. Put whatever you use back where it belongs. There is a place for everything and everything has a place. This rule applies to everything in the space. If you use a tool, put it back. If you use a pen, put it back. Throw away your trash and recycling.
Please put back the Machinery the way you found it. Clean up any messes you make. NEVER use shop air to clean off yourself or the machines.
If you remove any stock from the Vault inventory make sure to fill out the removal sheet hanging next to the cage door.
Always leave the space better than you found it.
