Safety First is the commandment we hold highest of the three. This principle applies to your safety, the safety of others, and the safety of the equipment/tools.

* Safety glasses must be worn when working at the jewelry station, the leatherworking station, the vacuum former, or when operating the robot arm. This is especially important when there is hammering, which is common for the jewelry station and the leatherworking station. Exercise situational awareness when hammering, as not everyone in The Vault may be wearing safety glasses.

* If you are using the propane torch at the Jewelry Station, you need to keep it at the station and away from flammable materials. Hold the torch upright and pointed away from you as you use it; there is no need to tilt it completely sideways. Remember to close the valve and lock the trigger when you finish.

=== 2. Reset the Space ===

===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.

The Vault has a specific organization to it. Put whatever you use back where it belongs. 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. Do not use shop air to clean off yourself or the machines.

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.

* The same Reset The Space principles apply. When you finish working, thoroughly clean the area you are working in and make it ready for the next person. Always leave the space better than you found it.

If you remove any stock from the Vault inventory make sure to fill out the removal sheet hanging next to the cage door.

* If you remove any stock (nuts, bolts, resistors, capacitors, etc.) from the sets of drawers that are up against the Tool Room cage, make sure to fill out the removal sheet hanging by the cage door. This helps us keep track of inventory to make sure it's available for you when you need it. If you end up not using all of the stock you took, RESET THE SPACE by returning it to the <strong>correct drawer</strong> and annotating the difference on the hanging clipboard removal sheet. Also, please notify the Maker Hub staff if we are out of certain inventory items, so we can properly Reset The Space for you.

Always leave the space better than you found it.

* It is unprofessional to grab and hoard handfuls of stock from the inventory drawers. Even worse if you don't record the stock you are taking on the removal sheet hanging by the cage door. We simply want there to be enough stock for everyone to enjoy. The Maker Hub gladly provides as many free materials as possible to all of its users, so please don't abuse this privilege. Sure, some projects legitimately need a large quantity of materials. Just ask the Maker Hub staff about it first. Maybe we'll give you the green light; maybe we'll ask you to cover the cost. It all needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. But also... if your wooden birdhouse needs 100 screws, maybe you should change your design.

* If the Tool Room door is open, it's not an invitation to waltz in and grab whatever you want. Find a Maker Hub staff member and let them check out the tools or bring you the supplies you need.

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.

* Do not argue with the Tool Room volunteers or shop staff.

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.

* Always ask for help if you have a question about the usage of a machine.

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.

* Speak up if you see inappropriate behavior or a safety violation occurring.

 

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