The following policies are established to govern the use and safety of all shop facilities within the School of Architecture and Construction Management. All students are expected to follow these policies with no exceptions. Failure to follow all procedures will result in losing privileges for shop use.

Safety:

• All students will be required to participate in safety training under the direction of Norm Martel. By signing this form you acknowledge that you have attended all required safety training.

• Safety in the shop is the responsibility of each student.

• All equipment and tools, which become broken, or need to be repaired, or unsafe must be taken out of use immediately and reported to the student TA.

• All materials must be kept off the floor and all tools need to be put away at the end of each work period. Sawdust and scrap material must be cleared away.

• No headphones, food, drinks are allowed in the shop.

• Students may not operate tools wearing loose clothing or jewelry. Long hair must be tied back.

Procedures:

• Students may not use or bring into the shop area any personal tools including power and hand tools. The only exceptions are model making tools such as matt and exacto knives.

• Students must clean the area where they are working once they are done using the shop.

• Broken tools or materials that need to be replaced (IE sandpaper) should be reported to the TA.

• Students must always work in a safe and conscientious manner.

Non conformance with the above will result in the closure of the shop.

Release of Liability Form:

In order to gain admittance into the shop, students must review and submit the “Release of Liability” form, thereby agreeing to assume all risks involved in participation of shop activities.

Forms are available through the A+CM Information Technology Office.
