Epoxy Room Precautions apply   

You will be working in the Epoxy Room . In order to keep safe from hazards created by you or other workers using any of the tools in this room, the following precautions apply in addition to any other precautions:

Hazards

  • Fumes: Epoxy and mold release are not good for your lungs. Lifebreath HRV (Epoxy) will be installed soon - until then, use a respirator.
  • Skin irritation and adhesion: if epoxy gets on your skin, it can cause skin damage. Wear gloves at all times. Isopropyl alcohol is also used for cleanup and can cause skin irritation
  • Eye damage: If epoxy splashes in your eyes, you can go blind. Wear sealed goggles when handling epoxy

Housekeeping

  • Clean as you go - Isopropyl alcohol is best for cleaning
  • No set areas for different supplies right now, put things back where you found them.

Use of North Forge Flammables Cabinets

  • Do we have a policy. Is this consistent with that policy? We have a very brief policy in the safety manual; this page expands on it (adding information about WHMIS labelling).

Flammables Cabinets are double-walled metal cabinets where any substances that pose a "Flammable" hazard must be stored. Members must not store flammables in their Rentable member storage or anywhere other than in one of the flammables cabinets.

Any flammables stored in here must be be labelled with the member's name and date. If it isn't a household grade item with safety information on the bottle, you must supply a WHMIS label and MSDS for the substance.

If your flammables container is empty you need to remove it from North Forge and dispose of it appropriately. Empty spray cans cannot go into the household garbage and need to be dropped off at a 4R depot.

We go through this occasionally and purge containers that are labelled for people who are no longer members, or that seem dried out or empty; generally posting on Slack to warn of any imminent purge.
