=== Wood Shop Policy, Safety, and Orientation ===
 +
All Wood Shop users are required to pass the Wood Shop Safety Quiz with 90% or better before attending the in-person orientation. 
 +
 +
Emergency Safety - Review the Wood Shop layout to know the nearest emergency exits, eye wash, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and breaker box incase of emergency.
 +
 +
* By using Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) you are agreeing to the shop policies and to operate equipment and use the space safely.  Personal safety is your responsibility.
 +
* Damage to tools, equipment, the shop itself caused by your actions is solely your responsibility.
 +
 +
Impairment - The use of the Wood Shop equipment requires you to be alert, attentive and focused. Do not use the Wood Shop if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  Likewise, ensure that you are well rested and alert.
 +
 +
==== Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - The PPE for the Wood Shop are listed below: ====
 +
 +
* Safety Glasses - Safety glasses are required when you are operating hand or stationary powered tools in the Wood Shop.  Additionally, safety glasses are required if you are in the Wood Shop, and someone else is operating powered tools. (ANSI Z87.1-impact resistant) safety glasses are required. These are rated for impact protection and have side shields to provide protection from objects coming from the front and sides. Most prescription glasses are not impact resistant or provide side protection. If you use prescription glasses, then put an ANSI Z87-1 goggle over them.
 +
* Hearing protection - Hearing protection is required when you are operating stationary powered tools, or someone else is operating machinery in the Wood Shop. There are two types of hearing protection
 +
** Soft Foam earplugs are available.  To get the best protection roll the foam with your fingers to condense the plug.  Pull the top of your ear up and back with the opposite hand, and insert the plug into your ear canal.  Hold the plug with your finger for 20-30 seconds to let the plug expand and fill your ear canal.  Your voice will sound muffled if the plug has a good seal
 +
** Ear muffs are available. These fit over both ears and have sound attenuating material and soft ear cushion to fit around the ears.
 +
* Respiratory Protection - Particulate filter respirator should be used when significant wood dust is being generated (when emptying the dust collector).
 +
* Shoes - Closed toe shoes are required.  If working with heavy lumber, consider safety shoes (steel or composite) to protect your toes if material is dropped.
 +
 +
* Gloves should not be worn when using powered equipment (saws, jointers, drills, etc.)  Leather gloves can be worn for handling materials, but not when operating machinery.
 +
* Hair and Clothing -  There are many moving parts in the Wood Shop that can get caught and pull you into mechanical equipment. Tie back long hair when operating machinery.  Also ensure that sleeves, hoodie strings, and any loose clothing is secured.
 +
* Jewelry - Remove rings, bracelets and any other jewelry that could get caught when operating equipment.
 +
 +
==== Hazards - The following are a list of hazards that should be considered while working in the Wood Shop. ====
 +
 +
* Wood Dust - Exposure to wood dust has been associated with a variety of adverse health effects including dermatitis, respiratory effects and cancers. Engineering controls include local exhaust ventilation which removes dust at or near the source. To be effective the dust collection system needs to be maintained.  Check and clean the dust collection system to ensure they are working properly. Additionally, particulate filters, or respirators can be worn to protect personnel directly.  
 +
* Noise - The machinery in the Wood Shop can exceed 85 decibels in noise. This can impair hearing if you are exposed to it over a sustained amount of time. Noise levels can be reduced by maintaining motors and moving parts in top operating conditions, reducing the speed of operation, ensuring the equipment frames are rigid and isolating noisy equipment on rubber footing. Additionally, hearing protection (ear muffs, and ear plugs) can be used to reduce individual exposure to loud noises while working in this area.
 +
* Electrical Hazards - To minimize the danger of electrical hazards, machines must always be grounded, circuit breakers and fuse boxes labeled, cords, cables and plugs must be in good repair, and outlets and switches must be covered. Report any unsafe condition found by using posting on Red-Tag Issues on Slack and putting a filled out red-tag on the equipment to prevent its use until it is repaired.
 +
* Machine Maintenance - Equipment needs to be properly maintained to function safely.  If there is any indication that the machine is not functioning properly, don’t use it. Report any unsafe condition found by using posting on Red-Tag Issues on Slack and putting a filled out red-tag and/or lock-out/tag-out device on the equipment to prevent its use until it is repaired.  
 +
* Fire and Explosion - Woodworking facilities contain large quantities of fuel in the form of woos, wood products, sawdust, and flammable materials such as paints, oils finishes, solvents, etc.  Sawdust can ignite and burn far more easily than whole pieces of lumber. Regular maintenance must be done to ensure that dust is not accumulating in the area.  That electrical panels, fire extinguishers, and exit routes are not blocked. It is important for every user to ensure that they perform effective clean-ups of the equipment and the area to reduce the build up of wood dust, the separation of flammable materials, the proper maintenance of equipment.
 +

 +
Equipment Information – Be knowledgeable about the equipment that you are using.
 +
 +
* There are laminated placards with detailed equipment information hanging on each of the large Wood Shop power equipment.  These can also be found in the PPM Wiki under Wood Shop- Training (e.g., PPM Jointer Safety and Operations)
 +
* More detailed information can be found on the PPM Wiki/Wood Shop page. Vendor supplied Operation, Instruction, and parts lists can be found as links on that page.  Most equipment manuals have specific information on capabilities, maintenance, adjustments, and parts lists. Use the specific equipment manual for setup, changing blades, auxiliary attachments, alignments, and general maintenance.
 +
* Additionally, there are tutorial videos on-line that provide general information on many of the Wood Shop tools, techniques, and safeguards.
 +
 +
Dust Collection and Air Handler – Woodworking creates wood chips, dust and fine dust. There are three reasons for dust collection.
 +
 +
* Fine particulate matter is a health hazard that can be a respiratory irritant in the near-term, and a more serious health condition with long-term exposure.
 +
* Fire Danger – A Wood Shop without dust collection has combustible dust everywhere, floors, tools, light fixtures, machinery housing, furnaces, electrical boxes. The amount of dust increases the chance for a fire start or acceleration if in contact with heaters, hot fixtures, machine housing, etc.
 +
* Annoyance – True craftsmen work to precision high quality standards. Chips and dust can impact accuracy, joinery, final finishes,and  the quality of the final product. Dust in machinery means more maintenance is needed.  Plus, people prefer to work in clean environments.
 +
 +
Scan the Wood for Metal -  Use a hand-held metal detector wand on all reclaimed wood stock.  It will locate remaining screws, nails and other metal parts. Any identified metal needs to be removed prior to cutting or shaping on woodworking equipment.
 +
 +
Upcycled Wood - Don’t bring any wood that has lead paint, bugs, or toxic materials to PPM Wood Shop.  Paint must be removed prior to bringing to PPM for any up-cycled lumber project. Many pallets are treated with toxic pesticides, such as methyl bromide.  Additionally, there can be residuals of toxic chemicals left on pallets, or bacteria from food shipments. Here are some resources about reclaimed wood:

 +
 +
Recycling wood has ecological and aesthetic value. But, only if it is not exposing you and PPM members to hazardous materials.  
 +
 +
Materials that are not allowed in the Wood Shop - The equipment in the Wood Shop can be used on solid wood, plywood, and MDF (medium density fiberboard). It should not be used for metals or plastics, composite decking material (e.g.,Trex).  These materials are not compatible with the blades and bits in the Wood Shop tools.
