Emergency Procedures

Emergency maps are located near the entrance of every room.

Fire
There are 3 fire extinguishers within the space. One within the wood shop, 1 within the main lab in the corner nearest the Metal shop and 1 in the CNC lab. These are inspected yearly.

In the case of fire that is not easily extinguished

  1. Press the fire alert on the keypad near the door.

  2. Close all doors, but do not lock.

  3. Call 911 to alert them to the specific details and location of the fire.

  4. Evacuate the building.

  5. Inform college administration of the situation.

Tornado
In case of a tornado:

  1. Remain inside the building

  2. Move to main lab of makerspace.

  3. Close the doors to the woodshop, CNC, and Metal shop.

  4. Position yourself along the back wall near the electronics and textiles.

Placement and use of First Aid kit
The first aid kit is mounted on the wall outside of the metal shop, next to the fire extinguisher. This kit is ANSI and OSHA compliant and sized for 75 to 100 persons. Access to first aid kit should be done by lab supervisor, unless timing of injury does not allow it.

There is one eyewash station within the makerspace. It is located on the sink near the 3D printers. If necessary follow the written directions, or what was discussed in MACClab orientation, to properly operate it.

Incident reporting
All accidents occurring within the makerspace require an incident report to be completed by the makerspace staff. In most cases a security report form must also be completed.

Injury causing accidents – In the event of an injury causing accident, a member must notify a makerspace employee immediately. Makerspace employees can provide members with the necessary first aid supplies for minor cuts, burns, or abrasions. If injury is determined to be beyond that of an ANSI first aid kit, emergency services will be contacted.

Non-injury causing accidents – in the event of accidents resulting in machine damage but no injury, damage will be assessed by the makerspace technician or director.

A meeting is required between the member and the coordinator before lab access may resume. If the member is consistently operating in a way that is damaging to the equipment, authorization will be revoked and the member must retake and pass the access course to regain authorization.

Material Safety Data Sheets
MSDSs are located within the filing cabinet of the welcome desk and are available to members upon request.
