'''Do you like my floppy scarf?''' | |||
Any loose clothing or accessories can be extremely dangerous in a workshop environment (image of being dragged by the neck towards a spinning table saw blade...). Please ensure that you wear sensible clothing, tie long-hair back and wear sturdy and grippy shoes. | Any loose clothing or accessories can be extremely dangerous in a workshop environment (image of being dragged by the neck towards a spinning table saw blade...).

'''How do I become an inductor? I want to train people to use the table saw more effectively. I'm going to start on Monday?''' | |||
We'd love members to get more involved and share their expertise. However, please don't go it alone. We've worked hard to put together a system which works. Also, we don't use the word "training" on purpose. "Training" implies responsibility to the "student". We are not set up to run training courses in how to use dangerous machinery correctly. Please get in touch if you are keen to get involved with inductions. | We'd love members to get more involved and share their expertise. However, please don't go it alone.

'''What's AC Node?''' | |||
AC stands for *A*ccess *C*ontrol. This is the home-brewed, highly effective system hacked up by some particularly inventive Hackspace members. It works in a similar way to the door entry system. Once granted access by an inductor (who is has admin rights to the AC node system), members can use their registered RFID card to use a machine which is protected with an ACNode. | AC stands for *A*ccess *C*ontrol.

'''I'm coming to the Hackspace tonight. I want an induction as I have a project to finish by Friday.''' | |||
I'm sorry, but unless you are very lucky, as fellow members of the Hackspace and volunteer inductors, we cannot work to your schedule. Regular inductions will be announced on the main mailing list. You can edit this wikipage to add your name to the waiting list. We will contact you when your name nears the top of the list. While the regularity of induction does depend on demand, as volunteers, we have limited time to commit (we have deadlines too). | I'm sorry, but unless you are very lucky, as fellow members of the Hackspace and volunteer inductors, we cannot work to your schedule.

If you have an urgent deadline, you are better going to one of the other workshops around London, such as the Blackhorse Workshop, who have full time technicians to support your needs. | If you have an urgent deadline, you are better going to one of the other workshops around London, such as the Blackhorse Workshop, who have full time technicians to support your needs. | ||
'''I'm a professional carpenter/joiner/fine-cabinet maker/expert/wood genius. I don't need an induction.''' | |||
That's great. We welcome experienced members to the workshop. However, you still need to do an induction. There are a number of special 'features' of both the planer and table saw that you may not be aware of. Inductions are mandatory. We want to meet you face-to-face, point out the safety features and potential gotchas and explain how the AC Node system works. | That's great. We welcome experienced members to the workshop.

'''I've lent my card to "me mate Dave" so he can use the table saw over the weekend.''' | |||
Please don't. Sharing your card will result in an instant ban. | Please don't. Sharing your card will result in an instant ban. | ||
'''Why so strict? This is the London Hackspace.''' | |||
We don't want anyone to hurt themselves. You use the machinery at your own risk, and as fellow members, we have a duty of care to ensure that you are informed as to the best practice. The inductions give you a chance to ask the inductor questions and identify aspects of the machines about which you should be particularly aware. We also need to ensure that use of the machinery is traceable in the unlikely (and unfortunate) case that the machinery is abused. Intentional disregard of these guidelines is likely to result in a ban. You have been warned. | We don't want anyone to hurt themselves.
