Warnings

Things you shouldn't do. Especially Not Twice

Everybody using equipment in the space is expected to look after that equipment. That means finding out how to use it properly. If you break something and there were guidelines here that would have avoided it, that's not just an unfortunate accident, it's YOUR FAULT. Take responsibility. If the warnings were wrong or insufficient, correct them. That's your responsibility too.

If you see someone misusing tools, appliances or someone unaware of how their actions might damage a tool, please tell them directly, explaining the potential consequences and how it could occur. And write it up here, at the top where new entries will be read, in the hope that someone else will learn, too. Be gentle, but don't keep quiet. It isn't helpful to let someone else suffer their own mistakes, and even less helpful to cause other people to suffer your mistakes.

Locking up

• DO check no-one else is in before leaving
• DO let them know if they're the last person
• DO talk someone through the lock up procedure if they've never done it before, or let them leave with you.

If someone is leaving and they check with you if you can lock up, and you are worried about doing it properly.

• DO NOT make them wait, tidy up quick and get out with them.

If you're the last person

• DO CHECK THE SHUTTER IS DOWN
• DO CHECK THE KITCHEN DOOR IS CLOSED
• DO CHECK COOKING EQUIPMENT IS OFF
• DO CHECK ALL NOISY MACHINERY IS OFF
• DO CHECK THE MAIN EXIT IS LOCKED
