Safety

Hazards: inhalation, noise, projectile, burns, laceration (sharp tools and edges), bright light/UV (welding), entanglement
PPE: Hearing protection, eye protection at all times. Some equipment may require a respirator (P100), FRED Welding fume extractor, gloves, or other protective gear (see tool pages for more information)

for all	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?

Most work in the metal room is hazardous not only to you but to everyone nearby. Warn people if you're producing hazardous noise, dust, light (ie welding). Don't leave hot objects unattended.
Watch what other people are doing in case they produce an unexpected hazard.
If doing hot works, you must keep direct watch for 60 minutes. Use an IR thermometer to check for hotspots.

Housekeeping

Dispose of scrap metal in the scrap metal barrels. Don't leave sharp edges poking out where they can stab someone.
