Orientation

ALL WORK IN PROGRESS _____________________________________________________

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.

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.

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.

Induction Script

Brief Introduction to LHS

• Community not-for-profit organisation - see full descriptions on wiki main page etc
• Currently one of several small business/ community minded tenants in the EX2 building

Access

• The main entrance to the Hackspace during working hours is through the large opening with clear plastic doors (first that you pass as you come up the Alleyway)
• You enter initially to the general EX2 space - LHS is immediately on the left with swipe card access
• Out of working hours a roller shutter is closed
• The alternative entrance (available at all times) is a metal door slightly further down the alley, which enters directly into the hackspace

Exit

• Discuss noise /dust mitigation - keep doors closes, shout warning before using loud tools
