Lab Safety

The AFL is a working laboratory with numerous pieces of power tools, which require training and precautions to use.

1. As a laboratory space, long pants and closed-toe shoes are required in the AFL. When machinery is being operated, safety glasses are also required for all students in the space.

2. Students may not use any piece of equipment that they have not been trained on. The documents listed on this site are for reference only, and are not a substitution for training on the machine by AFL staff or instructors.

3. To use any of the machines in the AFL, students must sign and turn in a safety waiver, acknowledging the inherent risks involved in operation industrial equipment.
