Here are the official Wood Shop Rules as approved by the Wood Shop Committee with updates.  In uploading the file - the format gets jacked a bit.  I have .doc and .pdf of this if anyone wants it.  This is what is posted in the Wood Shop above the miter saw

• Image Removed Safety is of paramount importance in the DMS workshop areas, and we follow a Stop Work Policy (https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/17242-stop-work-authority^{Image RemovedImage Added}). If you feel anyone is doing something unsafe, it is your responsibility to step in and stop them and help them understand the issue.

• If if you are not familiar with a tool or its safe operation, then ask someone and/or review the tool manual (specific manuals links are on the individual tool pages below)
• Do not perform maintenance on machines without first consulting the committee chair or being authorized to do so.
• Do not use machines which you are not trained. If you are unsure, ask. To see a list of training you have completed, go to the kiosk in the computer room.
• Most freestanding power tools are equipped with RFID interlocks; badge in and out of all tools.
• Always ensure that the work area around you and your tools is clean before and after you are done working. Working in a dust-laden environment can cause issues with machines and your ability to use them.
• There is no storage of materials in the woodshop, woodshop annex, woodshop storage racks or assembly tables. Leaving glue ups for up to 24 hours is OK provided there is a note with your name, contact info, date and time.
• No power carving in woodshop, except for flex-shafts and dremmels (ie tools with <= 1/8" drive shaft)
• Logs and branches can only be processed on the bandsaws and lathes, no other woodshop power tools

• • Eye Protection required - Full face shield recommended.
  • Respiratory Protection recommended.
  • Ensure lathe speed is at the lowest setting.
  • Ensure all lathe accessories and work material are properly attached.
  • Check tool rest and banjo for clearance and proper height by hand turning your workpiece before turning on the lathe.
  • Do not repurpose a tool via sharpening. For example: Do not sharpen an easy wood tool into a bedan. Do not sharpen a scraper into a negative rake scraper. Do not turn a negative rake scraper into a scraper.
  • Do not turn work pieces that have cracks that may result in significant chunks of wood to fly off.
  • Avoid standing in the plane of rotation (where material travels if it flies off the workpiece) when possible and do not let spectators stand in the plane of rotation.
  • Do not turn workpieces that cause excessive vibration of the lathe.
