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.
