Safety in fablab

The Fablab in SP has a large number of tools, equipment and machinery which we can use to fabricate our projects with. As part of the module, we would need to use the aforementioned machinery and thus we will need to learn how to operate the different machinery, tools and equipment safely

General safety

  • Firstly, we are not allowed to enter and work in the lab or workshop without the presence of the lecturer-in-charge or any Technical Supporting Officer
  • It is also very important that we are always properly attired before entering the lab
    (As a guy, I should be wearing long pants and covered shoes)

These are some common safety placards that can be found on the machines at fablab
