| edit | Breaker Panel | all |
- We have a bunch of breaker panels, some are not obviuous to find, and some are not even in our space but control some of our circuits.
- Would be nice to encode each as infrastructure tool, with location, and with at least the most unexpected info about them documented on the page.
- If we build this we might want to consider instructions such as whether a popped breaker is a cause for a near miss, since it generally means something went wrong, and it would allow us to track any patterns. Could put QR on panels to incident form.

We have a Clean Work Table Policy We also have "26. CLEAN WORK TABLE POLICY" in https://northforge.ca//wp-content/uploads/2023/01/North-Forge-Safety-Manual-Winnipeg_Oct.21-22.pdf or is that old?
They actually touch on various things, and many of them are relevant in other contexts. So, we may not need this policy if the other places contain the info we need.
If you agree that these address all of the clean worktable policy then could we eliminate it as its own policy?
If we agree that it can go, we need to re-define Member Council Clean Work Table Lead. | 2024-09-14 4:59:47 AM |
| edit | CNC Spoilboard Storage | all |
- I think that longer-term storage in this cart is OK - some members have products that they sell regularly and would require a custom spoilboard/fixture. How should we handle this? Maybe ask that they "renew" by labelling freshly every 30 days, so old unused boards do not get forgotten
- I have started to do that, but that means contacting people every 30 days only to have them choose the easy route of "yes still need it". The cart is full now, so we kind of need a different way. Ttenbergen (talk) 11:18, 2024 August 13 (CDT)

| edit | Compressed air gun | all |
- 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.
- there is discussion by the Safety Committee on what should be permitted as of 2024-10. Ttenbergen (talk) 12:28, 2024 October 15 (CDT)

| edit | Emptying dust extractors and vacuums | all | We need a page for this!
Maybe the following will work.
- John and Tina should talk about discussions onthe wiki, there are several options.
- I meant this page almost as a general precautions page. The things you wrote are great and should be the instructions for the individual tools I think - for some I don't have pages yet. But my concern was more that we fuss to collect dust at the source but then make messes disposing of the dust. Are there best practices? For example, the bag in the wide belt sander extractor is so large to be just about unmanageable. And even for the others, beating out a vacuum filter on the inside of the garbage can releases a lot of dust. So, what is our deal? This might be related to the use of compressed air to clean things discussion.

| edit | Eye Wash Station | all |
We'll either need to find a way to link this to most rooms, or better yet, make it eye hazard dependent and link it that way... TT needs to think about this some more.
- There is a maps functionality for the wiki, and it can use any base map we want with coordinates. So we would be able to display e.g. tools or safety equipment via coordinate. I had thought about adding this initially but decided not to follow that squirrel for now. Let me know if I should reconsider that. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:42, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
Rooms and locations listed for convenience, there's probably a better way to do this in terms of the Wiki. John has also taken photos of the locations in case that's helpful later.
- That would be helpful later, because for the map we would probably encode each as its own "tool" (even if that stretches that category a bit), so a photo on there would be helpful. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:42, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
| 2024-08-14 3:42:23 AM |
| edit | Eye Wash Station | all | Doug pointed out that we may not have good documentation on these, let's change that. Here is a start...
This should contain instructions on how to use the eye wash stations. It should probably also include whom to notify, and a link to the incident form, since use of a wash station would warrant a form. Maybe the form is how we find out that they were used, too.
As much as that is internal info, I think it might also be good to add if we have spares on hand, and possibly where we get them. | 2024-08-14 3:42:23 AM |

- looks like we are using that box cart on 1 for garbage now. Is that a thing?
- guidelines about breaking things down so there are no sharp corners and max sizes for hard stuff in bags
- guidelines about securing bags with sawdust and not overfilling them so they aren't too heavy to put in the collection bin
- food garbage restrictions
- replace lids where present, either for safety as in metal room, or or fruit flies elsewhere

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? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? Mstapley (talk)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)
- Updated to clarify what is required at all times vs what may be required John Hache (talk)
- Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

| edit | Metalworking Room | all | Safety Marney
I changed that a bit, but really still not sure if it's reasonable. You may be working there and then someone else shows up and starts to work. Should you stop what you are doing and chat with them? I would not even notice they are there. So maybe the answer is, expect a hazard and wear the appropriate PPE in this space. | 2024-10-15 6:37:22 PM |

I just had a look at both the general concept of LOTO and our submission for it. I have misunderstood it a bit, I thought it was what workers need to do to flag broken and dangerous equipment to stop others from using it. It now sounds like it is really only a maintenance related concept. We still need the member lockout process but we might need two different concepts and sets of instructions. Thoughts? Ttenbergen (talk) 15:50, 2024 October 21 (CDT)
- I knew of the other context for it, where you're trying to prevent others from activating the equipment when you're working on it and injuring you, but still used the same term for both types. All equipment would need procedures to temporarily disable a tool. Would we only need the stricter LOTO procedure for larger equipment? Someone wouldn't be able to turn on any small equipment while you're working on it directly... John Hache ([[User talk[John Hache|talk]]) 19:25, 2024 October 21 (CDT)
- A lot of the current instructions require the lockout kits Jeff and I have, so we would need to tweak these for the user lockout since they would not have those.

- I have some outlook tasks, Jeff has many things in his head. A lot of the maintenance is by looking at it and saying, yup, looks like it needs it. Break-fixes generally come from Slack broken. Jeff tracks tasks completed as part of some timekeeping app that can export data but it is pretty much non-structured. I track some tasks completed in outlook as part of scheduling the next round.

Additional file formats: I know what a wiki is supposed to do WRT documentation but can we also upload files like instruction manual PDFs so that for tools that don't have any training or documentation that there's still a user manual they can consult, even if the contents of the PDF aren't searchable by the wiki? There's a space for a link to the manual but every few months/years there seems to be a shakeout/reorg at some company and products go from "supported" to "archived" or are dropped entirely and the link no longer works. Thoughts? Mpatryluk (talk) 01:03, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
- I am worried that by allowing .doc and .pdf file formats we will end up with content uploaded that should be integrated. I was trying to preempt that fight by keeping those turned off. You make a good point about link rot. Simply uploading someone else's .pdf file holds copyright questions, too. Might need further discussion. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:07, 2024 September 7 (CDT)

What are our recommendations for returning members?
At some point there was talk about re-training being available for free for previously trained members, as long as they don't require an extra sesssion. Did we ever formalize that?
- Emelia follows a process for recurring members needing to take safety and orientation again. If we have new equipment and process changes since the member last was a member, traing is always mandatory before they can use the equipment again. This is usually proficiency. Mstapley (talk)
- That sounds like quite a decision Emelia has to make there. Would she be sufficiently in the loop to know if e.g. the welding training has changed since that particular person was last a member? Is there documentation around this?
Ttenbergen (talk) 20:59, 2024 October 16 (CDT)

In many ways this is the only consistent onboarding some members will get. Tempting to tell them everything then. But the more we add, the less will stick. So we'll need to decide how to balance that. EG could some of the specifics be pushed to the initial safety portion of room level training rather than being handled at the initial safety orientation? Which? And can we ensure trainers actually do it? | 2024-10-17 1:47:42 AM |
| edit | Safety Orientation | all |
Is it a good idea to include an overview of more specific hazards that might only apply to operators?

- No, but we might want to have guidelines for member storage, maybe encourage people to store chemicals in secondary containers in case of spill, ID things that we don't want stored at North Forge if any, that sort of thing

| edit | Safety Orientation | all |
This is currently organized in the same way that you would conduct the orientation in person - that means facility-wide information like air gun use is nested under certain rooms. Does it make sense to keep this page organized that way?
- I think we can do better. Will need to figure out the details. Tool hazards will have a field to say if they affect the room. Maybe all room level hazards should be discussed? Or should we have an additional value for that field "Room and Orientation" to put them here? Or are they two separate things?
- A more productive approach is to figure out what the safety orientation should theoretically contain, then fill out this page to match that. Right now the checklist contains things that would be better handled during training.

the checklist we have should go here or be linked from here.
- John has added a summary of topics that needs links to the relevant pages below. We can also link to the entire checklist on the community portal
- The checklist itself should move here, both to make sure it's updatable and also to make sure that the way that is accessible to members inherently links to places on the wiki where they can remind themselves of what they learned, or can find out more. John is working on this, I put anything that could potentially be linked as italics so others can find them more easily and add the relevant links.

| edit | Safety Orientation | all | These are mentioned in the checklist but I don't know what is actually said during the orientation. Given that we haven't worked these procedures out yet, I doubt it is accurate. In general, people should either disable the equipment or put up a broken sign that covers either the power source or controls for the equipment (such that you have to remove the sign to be able to operate the equipment) | 2024-10-17 1:47:42 AM |

| edit | Safety Orientation | all | We should discuss this further and refine it.

Does this come from a standard? If so, which? Ttenbergen (talk) 21:10, 2024 October 16 (CDT)
- No, just things that I thought were concise and effective at the time I wrote this for the SWP template document. I haven't been able to find any standard system beyond WHMIS -John
- The pictographs in ISO7010 might be a starting point. Big list, though. Reading through what you have, does it need an eye hazard? Re the distinction with chemical ones, aren't those two more a result than a hazard? I mean, stuff gets on you (airway, skin, eye, digestive tract) and then has that effect. So wouldn't the route be the hazard (as you have with inhalation) and the chemical portion the "what does it do there" in addition to allergies or acute toxicity? Somehow I am sure a standard exists for this. I'll ask someone I met at a mediawiki conference who does risk analysis for NASA. If he doesn't know one I will concede there is no such thing :-) Ttenbergen (talk) 09:59, 2024 October 19 (CDT)
I remembered a concept from one of the mediawiki conferences I went to: ontologies. What I am finding is not really the topic of this page, and not really part of North Forge's Fablab documentation, so I am putting it on North Forge:OHS Ontologies; in the end I have not yet found one that's all that helpful, though.

| edit | Todo | all | Some things that may not have a page to put questions yet are:
- check why headings don't expand in mobile view; this is kind of important because it makes must instructions inaccessible on phones. Might require changing the skin.
- Populate and add pages in PCs and Software, and add pages like Instructions:Aspire as appropriate
- any of the 3d printer slicers; that will make it easier for Brian to review which we still need. We should also list NF official alternate slicers, I think there are some installed on the 3dp computer. Who would know details?
- update template:Room to include a link to the relevant Slack channel, and populate that info for the rooms. Hm. Or would it make more sense to keep that info on the Slack page and just have the room pages query it? In any case, make a structure and populate...
- abrasive media for tumbler, waterjet and sandblasters. What do we have ,where is it stored, how is it charged for, which is appropriate for which tools.
- Sheet metal tools at the fablab
- laser room template for
- ventilation to apply to room and all lasers
- raster speed instruction
- dangerous materials, hazards etc as well;
- 3d resin safety template
- define table relationships like '"`UNIQ--nowiki-0000001B-QINU`"'
- figure out backup automation
- Add main photo for any equipment that doesn't have one
- Add useful photos or diagrams in instructions (showing details of various steps, locations of useful items/equipment features)
- Lifting stuff - I think we should have a page for that, and include the 2-ton Shop crane, Motorcycle lift outfeed table for the metal band saw and RapidLift Cart outfeed table for the sawstop as individual tools and options to lift stuff, but also include SWPs about lifting. There is a car jack in the tool room as well.
- homes for the pallet jacks
- PPE provided where, and how to re-fill
- talked with Marney today and she agreed it would be good to include most power tools in this, especially any with much risk or that are likely to be of interest to prospective members. Things like skill saws, anodizer, pipe notcher, fret saw...
- find out if there is an extension that allows easier addition of pictures
- make "discuss" and some other buttons easily available in the toolbar
- discuss visual editor with some users
- fix default signature in LocalSettings.php (see below, it breaks discuss)

| edit | Tools test | all |
My friend Mark just joined. He asked me after his safety tour what tools he would be able to use between then and his first round of training sessions. I realized I didn't know if we have a formal answer for this. I told him the things in the tool room are probably fair game, so are a few other things, and to talk to someone beyond that.
Because I have been preaching wikis in general and the NF wiki in particular to him for years, he then made a wiki page So_You_Finished_Your_Safety_Orientation._Now_What?.
One of the things I would like to add is that, if a tool has no training session, you can ask the person listed as "trainer" or "knowledge keeper" and if they give you an intro, you are good to go. (But are they willing to do that?) Otherwise, if it has a SWP, you can use it if you read and follow the SWP. If a tool doesn't have a SWP, but its page on the wiki has a link to the manual, you can use the tool if you read the manual. And if there is no manual link, but you find a link to the manual and add it to the page then it becomes a page with a manual link and you can treat it so.
Would that be reasonable? My initial take was yes, but as I look at the results of that query on Tools_test I think we need to tweak this a little further. For example, just because someone finds a manual for the Fortus and adds the link we wouldn't want them to run that either. But we also don't want tools to be unattainable.

| edit | Training Validation | all |
I had situations where new members said they had used lasers before but because they were not Epilog I basically ended up doing the entire course for them in a slightly shortened form.
for returning members, it would usually be that they have to show the entire process with little to no intervention. This is something we should formalize once we have a better handle on things like the hazard analyses, training documentation, what does and does not require training, etc.
Lawrence made a document for his welding training.
<via slack> Be careful tho. Sometimes a so called proficiency check takes a lot longer than anticipated.
<via slack> One way to mitigate the uncertainties is to provide the trainee a list of tasks they should be able to perform and knowledge they should have, and sharing this beforehand | 2024-10-21 10:01:55 PM |
