The fablab has infrastructure to supply compressed air to the facility. This equipment runs at high air pressure. There is risk from air injection, whipping air hoses and a bunch of other things.

There are legal considerations around this system (Workplace Safety and Health Act and Regulations 16.24).

We have an SWP for this. The SWP does not include all of the allowed scenarios. One such scenario is allowing members to use compressed air system to blow off chips in wood (i.e. maps) that otherwise is very hard to impossible to blow it out any other way. Other ways have been proven to be impossible as it breaks the product. Other similar scenarios are acceptable.

Do not disconnect, move or alter any threaded-in airline plumbing. This is a permanent and not to be altered. Any alterations could be a safety hazard. There is an immense volume of high PSI and can be very dangerous.
