Health and Safety Documents

This page lists all Health and Safety Documents for members of Leicester Hackspace.

Note that because a member is quite likely working alone in the Hackspace it is the members responsibility for their own Health and Safety.

The Hackspace is split into 3 bays and the main risks associated with each of them are summarised below:

Each Bay has risks associated with Trip hazards and mains electricity.

Bay 1

This is the main bay and contains the kitchen, PC's, textile area, Laser Cutter, soldering area and storage.

Members must be trained before using the Laser Cutter.

This contains the 3D printers, CNC machines, engravers, Vinyl Cutter, ultrasonic Cleaner, workbenches and hand tool storage.

This is the most dangerous part of the Hackspace and members MUST not use any machine unless they are competent.

It contains a circular saw, bandsaw, chop saw, piller drill and lathes.
