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

LOCKUP PROCEDURE TBC

Facilities

The building has shared kitchen and toilet facilities (due to be upgraded at some point)
Take members on a brief tour

Workshop Safety

Read the Health & Safety Policy in full
Discuss ACNodes. Highlight that not all training tools are ACNoded
Discuss noise /dust mitigation - keep doors closes, shout warning before using loud tools
Keep fire passages clear
Locations of fire fighting equipment
Locations of PPE Stores

Cleanliness

LHS doesn't work if people don't clear up after themselves
Especially as a new member, it's one of the best ways you can help
Sweep dust after woodwork activities

Behaviour

Read the Code of Conduct in full
Raise awareness of the other policies on the Main Page
If there's a shortage of something, replace it yourself (preferred) or post on Discord/ mailing list but don't just walk away

Storage

Read Guides/Bringing items to the space

End of Induction

1) Members and inductors should sign and file a copy of the Induction Form

-= The Hackspace =
-== What the London Hackspace is/isn't ==
-* '''IS'''
-** A community
-The hackspace is a social group first : it can't exist without a number of people working together to finance and maintain it. If the community doesn't prosper, neither will the hackspace.
-** Your community
-You can't benefit from a community without contributing to it. Not just financially, but in creating goodwill, pooling your skills and knowledge and doing your bit in maintenance and repair.
-* '''ISN'T'''
-** This building
-This is the fourth building used by the hackspace. Only a tiny fraction of members can be present at a time : the real hackspace community is composed of everyone helping pay and organise it. The people online have just as much right to an opinion as those in the physical workshop.
-** Tool library
-One of the aims of the hackspace is to provide tools that would not be economical for a person to own personally, either because of their cost, or in justifying their storage space. But the tools have to be available - not lent out to someone. Please don't take any hackspace tools off the premises, and always put them back in the proper place when you have finished your job.
-** Co-working space
-You can conduct commercial business from the hackspace, using the space, tools and other facilities. But you can't monopolise seats or tables over other users, you can't register a company address there, you can't set up a special area just for your work, and you can't spend long periods on the phone, disturbing other members.
-** Free Wifi cafe
-You're welcome to bring individual friends into the hackspace, show them the facilities and stay to chat. But don't overdo it - a regular table full of visitors who aren't members will unfairly monopolise space and cause distraction for legitimate users. Be considerate.
-** Your home
