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.

3. Be Professional

This commandment has two sides to it. It covers the idea of acting like professional (which Webster’s defines as “exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in the workplace”). The term also describes the standards of education and training that prepare members of the profession with the particular knowledge and skills necessary to perform their specific role within that profession. Hopefully, you are learning both of these as part of your education at George Fox University. In the Welding Lab we expect you to develop as a courteous, conscientious, and skilled craftsman, understanding the tools and equipment in the Maker Hub and how to use them effectively.

Being a professional has some obvious ramifications in terms of behavior. First, be Christlike. Think of others better than yourselves. Share. If you have been welding for a prolonged time and someone else is waiting for the machine, let them use the machine for a while. This is being a professional.

If you are learning to how to use a machine, and you can't get something to work the way you want - ASK SOMEONE! Learn! Become a professional. Learn the craft. This is an educational space. You might think it will be quick and you can just get it done “your” way and not learn how to do it correctly. Be a Professional and learn the proper way, and then be available to teach others.

One very important, and likely difficult part of being a professional is to correct others when they are not being professional. It is your responsibility to speak up when you see somebody doing something inappropriate. If you see somebody doing something unsafe, not resetting the space, or being unprofessional, the professional thing to do is to remind them of the three commandments and ask them politely to correct their action. This is OUR space, not any individual's. As a group, we expect everyone in the space to keep the space safe, clean, and operable for everyone. 

If someone acts disgracefully unprofessional to you in the Machine Shop, you are welcome to bring the issue to Justin or Nick's attention.

General Vault Knowledge

There is a variety of equipment located in the Vault as well as a good supply of electronic components and fasteners. If you need to take any of these items for a project make sure you document the removal by filling out the inventory removal form. You will find the form hanging on a clip board located next to the Tool Room door.



Foxtale Certification

Before working with any of the equipment in the Vault you will need to take the general lab quiz as well as the specific quiz for each machine you are trying to use. The enrollment code for all of the quizzes is MakerHub.
