I can only speak from my experience at my local makerspace: - It's necessary to sign a release simply to visit the space... there's a lot of dangerous stuff in there like laser cutters, woodworking equipment, metal working equipment etc. - All equipment has a QR code that links to the makerspace wiki. This includes contact information about who to ask for safe operation of the equipment. New guests are highly encouraged to ask. - The first part of any workshop is the safety lecture. The one additional warning that I remember from the soldering workshop is that both solder and flux contain heavy metals (lead, and maybe a bit of mucury, IIRC), so you have to wash your hands after working with the stuff. --Barton On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 9:57 AM, Galen Charlton <gmc@esilibrary.com> wrote:
