DRAFT: Do not operate CNC machinery unattended

edit this at template:Do not run CNC tools unattended

  • Do not operate CNC machinery unattended. A camera feed while you are in another room does not qualify as attending the tool.
  • The law (see 16.13) says that we can not leave a machine unattended unless the machine or part has been (a) immobilized and secured against movement; or (b) enclosed by a safeguard to prevent access by any other worker to the machine or part.
    • The Shopbots themselves are not enclosed. The CNC Woodworking Room contains tools in addition to the shopbots, and those tools may be used by other workers. This means we must not run our CNC machinery unattended.
  • And here is some anecdotal evidence on top of it
  • We have actually had at least 2 fires on CNC equipment at the fablab

  • Flagging as contentious safety concern.
