How would one assess the "as required"? dust in the air remains after a previous member leaves, right? So how would a member know when not to use a respirator in there? I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? (Marney)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)
- Updated to clarify what is required at all times vs what may be required John Hache (talk)
- Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

I changed that a bit, but really still not sure if it's reasonable. You may be working there and then someone else shows up and starts to work. Should you stop what you are doing and chat with them? I would not even notice they are there. So maybe the answer is, expect a hazard and wear the appropriate PPE in this space. | 2024-09-27 6:05:58 AM |

If we require an IR thermometer (welding) we should label it it as safety item not to be removed. By adding the tool page to the Category:Safety we have added it to our Safety Inspection checklist.

- We have a bunch of breaker panels, some are not obviuous to find, and some are not even in our space but control some of our circuits.
- Would be nice to encode each as infrastructure tool, with location, and with at least the most unexpected info about them documented on the page.
- If we build this we might want to consider instructions such as whether a popped breaker is a cause for a near miss, since it generally means something went wrong, and it would allow us to track any patterns. Could put QR on panels to incident form.

They actually touch on various things, and many of them are relevant in other contexts. So, we may not need this policy if the other places contain the info we need.
If you agree that these address all of the clean worktable policy then could we eliminate it as its own policy?
If we agree that it can go, we need to re-define Member Council Clean Work Table Lead. | 2024-09-14 4:59:47 AM |
edit | CNC Spoilboard Storage | all |
- I think that longer-term storage in this cart is OK - some members have products that they sell regularly and would require a custom spoilboard/fixture. How should we handle this? Maybe ask that they "renew" by labelling freshly every 30 days, so old unused boards do not get forgotten
- I have started to do that, but that means contacting people every 30 days only to have them choose the easy route of "yes still need it". The cart is full now, so we kind of need a different way. Ttenbergen (talk) 11:18, 2024 August 13 (CDT)

edit | Emptying dust extractors and vacuums | all | We need a page for this!
- Maybe the following will work.
- John and Tina should talk about discussions onthe wiki, there are several options.
- I meant this page almost as a general precautions page. The things you wrote are great and should be the instructions for the individual tools I think - for some I don't have pages yet. But my concern was more that we fuss to collect dust at the source but then make messes disposing of the dust. Are there best practices? For example, the bag in the wide belt sander extractor is so large to be just about unmanageable. And even for the others, beating out a vacuum filter on the inside of the garbage can releases a lot of dust. So, what is our deal? This might be related to the use of compressed air to clean things discussion.

I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? (Marney)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)
- Updated to clarify what is required at all times vs what may be required John Hache (talk)
- Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

I changed that a bit, but really still not sure if it's reasonable. You may be working there and then someone else shows up and starts to work. Should you stop what you are doing and chat with them? I would not even notice they are there. So maybe the answer is, expect a hazard and wear the appropriate PPE in this space. | 2024-09-14 3:55:03 AM |

If we require an IR thermometer (welding) we should label it it as safety item not to be removed. By adding the tool page to the Category:Safety we have added it to our Safety Inspection checklist. Is there actually one down there? Yes, it should be. I haven't looked lately but I did buy one. | 2024-09-14 3:55:03 AM |

We'll either need to find a way to link this to most rooms, or better yet, make it eye hazard dependent and link it that way... TT needs to think about this some more.
- There is a maps functionality for the wiki, and it can use any base map we want with coordinates. So we would be able to display e.g. tools or safety equipment via coordinate. I had thought about adding this initially but decided not to follow that squirrel for now. Let me know if I should reconsider that. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:42, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
Rooms and locations listed for convenience, there's probably a better way to do this in terms of the Wiki. John has also taken photos of the locations in case that's helpful later.
- That would be helpful later, because for the map we would probably encode each as its own "tool" (even if that stretches that category a bit), so a photo on there would be helpful. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:42, 2024 August 13 (CDT)

edit | Eye Wash Station | all | Doug pointed out that we may not have good documentation on these, let's change that. Here is a start...
This should contain instructions on how to use the eye wash stations. It should probably also include whom to notify, and a link to the incident form, since use of a wash station would warrant a form. Maybe the form is how we find out that they were used, too.
As much as that is internal info, I think it might also be good to add if we have spares on hand, and possibly where we get them. | 2024-08-14 3:42:23 AM |

- looks like we are using that box cart on 1 for garbage now. Is that a thing?
- guidelines about breaking things down so there are no sharp corners and max sizes for hard stuff in bags
- guidelines about securing bags with sawdust and not overfilling them so they aren't too heavy to put in the collection bin
- own page about recycling and electronics recycling or on here?
- food garbage restrictions
- replace lids where present, either for safety as in metal room, or or fruit flies elsewhere
- metal recycling (would be nice if this went with an option to put still useful stock into a pool like the Stock Metal Stash

How would one assess the "as required"? dust in the air remains after a previous member leaves, right? So how would a member know when not to use a respirator in there? I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? (Marney)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)
- Updated to clarify what is required at all times vs what may be required John Hache (talk)
- Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

I changed that a bit, but really still not sure if it's reasonable. You may be working there and then someone else shows up and starts to work. Should you stop what you are doing and chat with them? I would not even notice they are there. So maybe the answer is, expect a hazard and wear the appropriate PPE in this space. | 2024-06-17 2:15:07 AM |

According to the manual "Noise levels produced by various Mr Deburr vibratory systems, as measured at the C&M Topline factor, range from 81 to 93 decibels. Do we assume that our machine is at the high end of that range? Considering the small space it is in I would suggest so. If so, the hearing protection that should be used should be an NRR of at least 24. Does the fablab provide this at the tool or should the user provide their own?

edit | North Forge:Using this wiki | all |
Additional file formats: I know what a wiki is supposed to do WRT documentation but can we also upload files like instruction manual PDFs so that for tools that don't have any training or documentation that there's still a user manual they can consult, even if the contents of the PDF aren't searchable by the wiki? There's a space for a link to the manual but every few months/years there seems to be a shakeout/reorg at some company and products go from "supported" to "archived" or are dropped entirely and the link no longer works. Thoughts? Mpatryluk (talk) 01:03, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
- I am worried that by allowing .doc and .pdf file formats we will end up with content uploaded that should be integrated. I was trying to preempt that fight by keeping those turned off. You make a good point about link rot. Simply uploading someone else's .pdf file holds copyright questions, too. Might need further discussion. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:07, 2024 September 7 (CDT)

How do you keep track of what needs maintenance and when you do it now? Anything that can be run through OCR? Mpatryluk (talk) 01:08, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
- I have some outlook tasks, Jeff has many things in his head. A lot of the maintenance is by looking at it and saying, yup, looks like it needs it. Break-fixes generally come from Slack broken. Jeff tracks tasks completed as part of some timekeeping app that can export data but it is pretty much non-structured. I track some tasks completed in outlook as part of scheduling the next round.

How would one assess the "as required"? dust in the air remains after a previous member leaves, right? So how would a member know when not to use a respirator in there? I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? (Marney)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)

Is there more than the Flammables Cabinets and the Hazardous materials fridge?
- Yes, member storage and private workspaces can have hazardous materials.
- do we cover that in the orientation, though?
- No, but we need guidelines for member storage, maybe encourage people to store chemicals in secondary containers in case of spill, ID things that we don't want stored at North Forge if any, that sort of thing
- We also need a system for collecting, storing, and auditing Safety Data Sheets...

How would one assess the "as required"? dust in the air remains after a previous member leaves, right? So how would a member know when not to use a respirator in there? I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? (Marney)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days.

edit | Todo | all | Some things that may not have a page to put questions yet are:
- check why headings don't expand in mobile view; this is kind of important because it makes must instructions inaccessible on phones. Might require changing the skin.
- Populate and add pages in PCs and Software, and add pages like Instructions:Aspire as appropriate
- any of the 3d printer slicers; that will make it easier for Brian to review which we still need. We should also list NF official alternate slicers, I think there are some installed on the 3dp computer. Who would know details?
- mapping the space; mediawiki can map by coordinates and it would be nice to map out the things we document visually; steps needed:
- review how the mapping extension would need to be set up
- update Template:Tool to include coordinates, and likely also a variable for "tool", "storage", "infrastructure", "safety"; any others?
- add map location visual to tool template
- make list-and-map pages for rooms, safety equipment, etc.
- started demonstrator at NF Map Demo
- re-think: I think we will want to have the coordinates as their own template that includes the coordinates, the tooltip and the tooltip content. More flexible to also use with Computers for member use and Safety equipment and however we end up setting up infrastructure type info
- update template:Room to include a link to the relevant Slack channel, and populate that info for the rooms. Hm. Or would it make more sense to keep that info on the Slack page and just have the room pages query it? In any case, make a structure and populate...
- compressed air system - as starting point for any air tools, incl our most common one, compressed air gun. That one would actually be quite high on our risk matrix...
- consider templates for e.g.
- wood room tool shut-down so the exhaust system shut down is mentioned consistently
- Garbage (for Laser Room/Precautions, Woodworking Room/Precautions, CNC Woodworking Room/Precautions etc; might be good to put on one page, or might be better off broken down so parts can be applied in different settings:
- large garbage breakdown
- sharp edges
- where to put full bags
- where to find empty bags (possibly leave a few in bottom of bins)
- food waste
- facility garbage disposal (naming Ghost?)
- hazardous waste incl. empty cans, fluorescent bulbs, etc
- abrasive media for tumbler, waterjet and sandblasters. What do we have ,where is it stored, how is it charged for, which is appropriate for which tools.
- Sheet metal tools at the fablab
- laser room template for
- ventilation to apply to room and all lasers
- raster speed instruction
- dangerous materials, hazards etc as well;
- 3d resin safety template
- define table relationships like '"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000002-QINU`"'
- figure out backup automation
- Add main photo for any equipment that doesn't have one
- Add useful photos or diagrams in instructions (showing details of various steps, locations of useful items/equipment features)
- - is anything missing in there?
- the policy not to let others in unless you are expecting them or know they are a member
- Lifting stuff - I think we should have a page for that, and include the 2-ton Shop crane, Motorcycle lift outfeed table for the metal band saw and RapidLift Cart outfeed table for the sawstop as individual tools and options to lift stuff, but also include SWPs about lifting. There is a car jack in the tool room as well.
- homes for the pallet jacks
- PPE provided where, and how to re-fill
- talked with Marney today and she agreed it would be good to include most power tools in this, especially any with much risk or that are likely to be of interest to prospective members. Things like skill saws, anodizer, pipe notcher, fret saw...
- find out if there is an extension that allows easier addition of pictures
- make "discuss" and some other buttons easily available in the toolbar
- discuss visual editor with some users

edit | Tools test | all |
My friend Mark just joined. He asked me after his safety tour what tools he would be able to use between then and his first round of training sessions. I realized I didn't know if we have a formal answer for this. I told him the things in the tool room are probably fair game, so are a few other things, and to talk to someone beyond that.
Because I have been preaching wikis in general and the NF wiki in particular to him for years, he then made a wiki page So_You_Finished_Your_Safety_Orientation._Now_What?.
One of the things I would like to add is that, if a tool has no training session, you can ask the person listed as "trainer" or "knowledge keeper" and if they give you an intro, you are good to go. (But are they willing to do that?) Otherwise, if it has a SWP, you can use it if you read and follow the SWP. If a tool doesn't have a SWP, but its page on the wiki has a link to the manual, you can use the tool if you read the manual. And if there is no manual link, but you find a link to the manual and add it to the page then it becomes a page with a manual link and you can treat it so.
Would that be reasonable? My initial take was yes, but as I look at the results of that query on Tools_test I think we need to tweak this a little further. For example, just because someone finds a manual for the Fortus and adds the link we wouldn't want them to run that either. But we also don't want tools to be unattainable.

If we require an IR thermometer (welding) we should label it it as safety item not to be removed. By adding the tool page to the Category:Safety we have added it to our Safety Inspection checklist. Is there actually one down there? Yes, it should be. I haven't looked lately but I did buy one. | 2024-09-13 4:24:16 PM |

How would one assess the "as required"? dust in the air remains after a previous member leaves, right? So how would a member know when not to use a respirator in there? I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? (Marney)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)
- Updated to clarify what is required at all times vs what may be required John Hache (talk)
- Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

I changed that a bit, but really still not sure if it's reasonable. You may be working there and then someone else shows up and starts to work. Should you stop what you are doing and chat with them? I would not even notice they are there. So maybe the answer is, expect a hazard and wear the appropriate PPE in this space. | 2024-09-04 5:23:45 AM |

This is not official policy yet, but official policy will include similar information to this. | 2024-08-16 4:01:39 PM |
edit | WHMIS | all | I believe that items in household typical containers (e.g. bought in a consumer store) are exempted because they have the information on the container. Does someone have details or a citation for this? Yes, added information below Ttenbergen (talk) 23:36, 2024 August 13 (CDT) | 2024-08-16 4:01:39 PM |
