  Equipment Usage and Safety

We classify our tools into three levels based on the potential risk to people and property:

• 🟢 Low Risk: Self-assess your competency and use if comfortable. Ask for help if needed. Stay vigilant about safety.

• 🟡 Medium Risk: Requires demonstration of competency, safe use, equipment care and maintenance.

• 🔴 High Risk: Requires an induction before use. Induction sessions are listed on Eventbrite. Only authorised personnel can train on these tools. The Cutting Room (Red Zone) with high-risk tools will be locked when no authorised person is present.
  

Consumables

Consumables are available for new members to learn the basics, to complete inductions and for some facilitated workshops.

Once you are a member and familiar with the equipment you're using, you'll need to supply your own materials to work on your own projects during Maker Lab sessions.
