Safety first includes not only your safety and the safety of others, but the safety of the equipment and tools as well. It is a huge privilege to have access to this set of equipment and we need to ensure that the equipment is being properly used and maintained.

Equipment that has an icon posted over it, by definition, requires specialized training. Without completing this training, you are not authorized to utilize the equipment! The training will be offered via a Canvas course for each piece of equipment. If the system is relatively simple, the course might just be basic reading with a simple quiz (like this one). More complex tools might involve demonstration videos along with a live demonstration of your ability to properly use the machines. Think of these certifications as a “license to learn.” They allow you to utilize the equipment, but you should still feel free to ask for help, at any point, from a shop mentor or technician.
