Training

Members are free to use the general hand tools in the space from the get-go, however for the larger equipment we ask that you complete an induction first.

Safety

Safety is one of our top priorities at the Hackspace. We provide PPE in the workshop for members to use when required. If you find any PPE is missing or damaged please contact the board asap either via Telegram or email.

Due to the nature of WoodyDusty it is common to find members using the equipment that requires PPE. As such we recommend that all members within woodwork wear the appropriate PPE whenever equipment is being used.

PPE available in WoodyDusty:

  • Goggles
  • Ear Defenders
  • Aprons
  • Disposable Dust Masks
