3. Workshop rules
The bench rooms are shared by three year groups. These rules keep work, tools and fingers safe.
3.1 Your bench
Each student is given a numbered bench and a drawer key in the first week. The number is also your locker number and the first part of your computer name, for example bench27.
- Clear the bench top at the end of every session.
- Work left in a vice overnight must carry a ticket with your name.
- Report a lost key to the technicians the same day.
3.2 Machines
Lathes and the wheel-cutting engine
No student uses a powered machine before the technicians have signed the induction sheet. Eye protection is worn at every machine, including by anyone watching.
