MACCLab Member Handbook 2026-2027

Safe Use Policy

No person is to operate equipment they have not received authorization to use.

Using equipment without authorization will result in suspension or cancellation of membership.

If a member has been authorized to use a piece of equipment and are found to be using it unsafely, the procedure is as follows:

  • Warning and given quick reminder course on proper use.

  • 2nd infraction – sticker of authorization is taken away and course for that equipment must be repeated to receive new authorization.

  • If unsafe use is seen a third time, or member uses equipment after sticker is taken away, but before passing reauthorization, this will result in cancellation of membership.

  • If a minor member is found using equipment unsafely the same consequence applies to both the minor and the parent/guardian member.
