Staying Safe in the Space

General Safety Rules

Use gloves and goggles with chemicals and power tools, available in the space. We do not supply masks for hygiene reasons, please purchase your own.

Do not use damaged tools or tools with frayed cables. Report on telegram and put aside for repair (Or repair yourself if confident!)

Please don’t use power tools when on your own, unless fully confident of your abilities. As an unmonitored 24/7 space, any lone accident could be serious.

If you have never used a tool before, ask for a demonstration from another member, and any safety features

Wash hands after using oils and resins

Clean up all debris after use

No welding equipment or high voltage electronics in the space. Please review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_voltage

No unattended battery charging in the space, and no high-capacity LiPO Storage

This isn’t an exhaustive list of potentially dangerous tools and activities. If in doubt email board@lamm.space or ask on telegram
