Following the move to EX2, it's now a requirement of our H&S policy that all members (new or old) get an induction to the space. As well as increasing safety, we hope it can also increase the sense of 'knowing what's going on' compared to the informal old system.
Following the move to EX2 in 2024, it's now a requirement of our H&S policy that all members (new or old) get an orientation to the space before they are given general access


During an induction the following script will be run through, ensuring all points are met. The bullet points may well strike a more in-depth discussion if required.  
As well as increasing safety, we're hopeful that a more organised orientation will help new members get a better feel for the space and how it operates compared to the older informal approach.  


Please note this induction does not cover details of using [[Equipment]] in the space - members should ask for help and/ or a separate training session as required.  
Orientations will consist of a walkaround tour of the space and the communal areas of the EX2 building, following the list of discussion topics below. The bullet points in this list can trigger a more in-depth discussion if required. There are also some of our formal written policies which must be read and agreed to, which are linked to below.  


=Induction Script=
Please note this orientation does not include an induction for any of the safety critical [[Equipment]] in the space - members should ask for help and/ or a separate training session on these once they are an oriented member.
