Update health and safety procedures for the Tapestry - these will need to bear in mind where equipment is situated etc. in the new building

Visited Code Club today and your name and DoES was mentioned so I have looked you up here. My interest is all things Rasp. Pi but specifically robots coded in SCRATCH and STEM. Recently retired from a career in secondary education. Self taught in SCRATCH specific for wheeled robots. Post 16 tutor in Lifelong Learning and WAS H&S (IOSH) officer in large secondary school. Can I help you? Can you help me? Perhaps we can arrange a get together. Peter.einig@btinternet.com.

Peter came to maker night tonight, and suggested that:

we move the extinguishers away from the laser cutters so that they are still accessible if there is a major fire
we look out for a metal cupboard for solvents, glues etc.

Is there anything beyond "make sure there's a metal cupboard in the workshop area" and "put the Ultimakers in the metal server cabinet" that's needed before the move? If not, I'm going to label the metal cupboard in the main room and the server cabinet appropriately (once #673 is underway) and then drop the Move label from this issue.

Presumably one of the things we should do as part of this is to ensure we have training materials available (particularly for the more dangerous kit) for the assorted tools in the workshop. Autodesk have just released the training material for all of their kit in Pier 9, so it might be worth cribbing from that.

Cambridge Makespace have this sign explaining their red/amber/green classifications

amcewen commented 4 years ago

We had two labels to cover health and safety stuff - I've rationalised this so there's now just the Health & Safety label, so we can track things more easily.

The signs for equipment stuff is covered in #243.
