<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Garage follows a safety protocol based on [https://ehs.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/EHS_0076.pdf EHS-0076 Shop and Makerspace Safety]. In this system, each tool is assigned a class, and classes are defined as follows:<br />
<br />
# Low power hand and bench tools<br />
# Medium power hand and small benchtop tools<br />
# Medium power industrial and construction-scale tools<br />
# Powerful portable and industrial tools<br />
<br />
The class of a tool determines how it can be used. While all tools require agreeing to the safety and liability waivers, the following are determined based on the class of a tool:<br />
<br />
* Whether a tool can be used solo or if the two person rule applies<br />
** Class 1 has be used solo<br />
** Class 2 recommends the buddy system, and Class 3 requires it<br />
** Class 4 requires a trained supervisor at all times<br />
<br />
Because of this, knowing the class of a tool is critical before using it.</div>Alex
