Protocol of Digital Fabrication Lab

1. Safety first: Safety is a top priority in Digital Fabrication Lab. All users should be familiar with safety guidelines, equipment, and procedures before using any tools or equipment. Lab managers should ensure that safety gear such as gloves, goggles, and aprons are available and properly used.
2. Respect the equipment: Users should treat all equipment and tools with respect, following instructions and handling them carefully. Equipment should be regularly maintained and checked for safety hazards.
3. Share resources: Makers labs often have a limited amount of resources, so users should be encouraged to share tools and equipment. Rules may be established for reserving equipment and managing time limits to ensure fairness and equal access.
4. Collaboration and communication: Makers labs are often collaborative spaces, and users should be encouraged to work together and share knowledge. Communication should be clear and respectful, with an emphasis on problem-solving and mutual support.
5. Documentation: Projects and experiments conducted in the makers lab should be well-documented, including materials used, procedures, and outcomes. This information can be used for future reference, troubleshooting, and sharing with others.
6. Cleanliness: Users should keep the makers lab clean and tidy, returning tools and equipment to their proper place after use. Cleaning supplies should be available, and regular cleaning and maintenance should be performed to keep the lab in good condition.
7. Ongoing learning and training: Users should have access to ongoing training and education opportunities to learn new skills and stay up-to-date with advancements in the field.

Overall, the protocol of  Digital Fabrication Lab is to prioritize safety, collaboration, communication, and respect for resources and equipment.

Safety guidelines for Digital Fabrication Lab

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All personnel’s in the lab should wear appropriate PPE such as safety goggles, gloves, and lab coats. The specific PPE needed will depend on the type of work being done in the lab.

1. Chemical safety: If your lab involves the use of chemicals, make sure to properly label and store them in a designated area. Ensure that workers are properly trained in the handling and disposal of chemicals, and provide access to safety data sheets (SDS) for each chemical.
2. Equipment safety: All lab equipment should be properly maintained, and any faulty or broken equipment should be immediately removed from use. Workers should also be trained in the proper use and handling of all equipment.
3. Electrical safety: Ensure that all electrical equipment is properly grounded and that workers are trained in safe electrical practices, such as avoiding the use of damaged cords or plugs.
4. Fire safety: Have a fire safety plan in place, including proper storage of flammable materials and fire extinguishers located in easily accessible areas.
5. Emergency response: Make sure that workers are trained in emergency response procedures, such as the proper use of eyewash stations and emergency showers.
6. Ventilation: Ensure that the lab is properly ventilated, particularly if working with chemicals or other hazardous materials.
