=User Rules=
 
'''Workshop Conduct and Safety Contract'''
 
Failure to follow these rules can result in the loss of shop privileges.
 
#Supervisor refers to either the workshop manager or an individual authorized by the manager to oversee the workshop.
#Workshop refers to any of the metal, wood or machine shops at OSE.
 
 
'''General Shop Conduct and Safety Rules'''
 
#Eye protection must be worn at all times when in the workshop. This applies regardless if you are working on machinery or not. Activities of others can affect your safety.
#Nobody is allowed to work in the any shop alone. Period. You must have at least one other person with you. If there is an accident, the other person can call for help and come to your aid.
#Obtain first aid immediately for any injury. Report all accidents/injuries to the shop supervisor no matter how insignificant they may seem at the time. This will help us to mitigate hazards in the future.
#Do not operate machinery that you have not been authorized to use. This will protect both you and the equipment from harm. All machine tools require machine specific training and are not to be used unless the shop supervisor grants authorization. See the shop supervisor, not your partner for proper instruction.
#No pets allowed in the workshop. Pets are a distraction and become a tripping hazard by free roaming the shop floor.
#Do not attempt to oil, clean, adjust or repair any machine while it is running. Performing maintenance on moving machinery exposes you to additional hazards. We wish to reduce hazardous situations.
#Ensure that all machine guarding is in place and functioning properly. Inform the
machine shop supervisor if the guarding is damaged or malfunctioning. Malfunctioning guarding will not properly protect you and becomes a hazard itself.
#Do not leave machines running unattended. Others may not notice the machine is
running and be injured by moving tooling.
#Do not try to stop the machine with your hands or body. Stopping the machine with
your body can result in entanglement. Let the machine come to a stop naturally.
#Always keep hands, hair feet etc. clear of all moving machinery at all times. Be aware
of all moving parts, especially cutting tools and chucks.
#Double-check that tooling and work pieces are properly supported and clamped prior
to starting the machine. Starting a spindle with loose tooling or machining a loosely
clamped work piece can produce flying hazards.
#Heavy or unwieldy work pieces often require special support structures to machine
safely. Ask for help if you are unsure if your work piece requires additional support.
#Remove chuck keys, wrenches and other tools from machines after making
adjustments. Chuck keys left in the chuck when the machine turns on become
dangerous flying objects.
#Ask for help when moving awkward or heavy objects. This will protect you and those
around you from injury.
#Deburr sharp edges of freshly cut stock. This includes the piece of stock that goes
back in the stock rack. Eliminating burred edges minimizes the chances for personal
injury and marring of precision machine surfaces.
#When working with another person, only one person should operate the machine.
#Do not lean against the machines, it is poor etiquette. If you need a rest, grab a chair.
#Do not talk unnecessarily while in the workshop or while operating a machine. Do not talk to others while they are operating a machine. Do not become a distraction to others. Concentrate on the
work and the machine at all times, it only takes a moment for an accident to occur. If
you must talk, turn off the machine.
#Make sure you have sufficient light to see clearly when performing any job. Well lit
work spaces are much safer and less straining on the operator.
#Work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Rushing will compromise safe working
practices along with part quality and increases the chance of damaging equipment.
#Listen to the machine(s) - if something does not sound right, shut it down. Often if the machine sounds abnormal to you, it probably is not operating properly. Inform the shop supervisor if you believe the machine to be operating abnormally..
#Never use compressed air for cleaning machinery. This will embed particulates into the precision machine ways and will drastically reduce the life of the machine tool. Use the supplied chip brushes and rags to clean machinery.
#Never use compressed air to clean your clothes or any part of your body. Particles can become embedded in skin and eyes. In extreme cases, air can be introduced into the bloodstream.
#Close workshop doors shut off lights before leaving.
#If you do not know how to do something – '''ASK!''' Do not engage in any activity that may have unusual risk. Trust your judgment.
#'''Check''' with the shop '''supervisor''' if you have any '''doubts''' about what you are doing.
 
==Shop Cleanliness Rules==
#Keep floors free of oil, grease or any other liquid. Clean up spilled liquids immediately, they are slipping hazards. Use sawdust or dirt to soak up oil
#Store materials in such a way that they cannot become tripping hazards. Immediately return all excess material to its proper storage place.
#Put tools away when not in use. This prevents loss of tools and also makes them available to others.
#Place all scrap in scrap containers.
#Stop work 10 minutes prior to the time you need to leave the shop. This will provide ample time to clean and replace tools to their homes.
#KEEP THE SHOP CLEAN AT ALL TIMES. It is all of our responsibility to keep the shop clean. There is no excuse for a cluttered/messy workspace. If your workspace is cluttered, then you are working too fast. Slow down. Know this, you will not anger someone if you clean up after them. In fact, they will likely do the same for you.
 
==Dress Code==
 
#Steel toed shoes are required. No open toed shoes or high heels. To provide secure footing, choose shoes with softer soles and stable platforms. Wearing appropriate footwear will help protect feet from falling objects and hot sparks or chips.
#No loose clothing allowed. This includes but is not limited to ties, scarves and loose-sleeved shirts. Short sleeves or sleeves rolled above the elbow are preferred. When welding, long sleeves are require for protection from arc-flash and metal sparks.
#No shorts, dresses or skirts allowed when working in the metal shop. Burred edges of freshly metal such as sheet stock are razor sharp. Wearing of long pants will protect you and those around you. Additionally, hot chips will burn/cut exposed skin potentially startling the operator. This rule does not apply in the woodshop.
#Remove all jewelry that could be caught in moving machinery. This includes rings and loose bracelets. Remove necklaces and the like, if not securely restrained.
#Restrain all hair that has potential for entanglement with moving machinery.
#'''Wearing of gloves when working on moving machinery is prohibited. Gloves can easily become entangled in moving machinery and thus are not allowed.. The only exceptions to this rule are; 1) the wearing membranous gloves (such as latex or nitrile) for personal protection or contamination control; 2) The wearing of gloves while using a bench or portable grinder or buffing wheel. If you need to wear gloves, see workshop supervisor for acceptable types for your application.'''
