As a Washburn Shops User I agree to:

Read and adhere to the Washburn Shops Access Policy.

Adhere to all shop rules, WPI polices, Washburn Staff instructions, and state and federal laws while using the Washburn Shops.

Work only within my competency and ask for help if I need it.

Sign in before entering the shop and sign out when leaving; wear a badge when in the shop.

Report all accidents, injuries, and broken equipment. (Note: users will not be penalized for incidents occurring while they are making good-faith efforts to adhere to Shop policies. Additional instruction or training is not a penalty.)

Follow all safety policies and speak up if I see anyone in violation. All users are held to the same safety requirements regardless of qualification level; no user may exempt themselves or others from any safety policy.

Hold current status on required training, including EH&S mandated training.

Inspect my work area before starting and after finishing work. If I do not report deficiencies prior to starting work, I will assume responsibility for those deficiencies.

Clean up my work area after I am finished.

Work only within approved hours.

Leave the Shops if requested by Washburn Shop Staff or the Responsible PLA/Graduate Student on duty.

Refrain from horseplay, pranks, or practical jokes while in the shops.

Refrain from using the Shops if I am not in a condition to safely operate machinery (such as due to intoxication, medication, exhaustion, illness, etc)

I furthermore agree that The Washburn Staff may restrict or revoke shop privileges at their discretion, in response to a violation of Shop policies, or as deemed necessary to ensure safe operation. I agree that the following are willful violations of this agreement and are grounds for permanent loss of Shop privileges on a first offense:

Covering up an accident
Failure to report an injury
Accessing the Shops without authorization such as by using a false ID, breaking in, and/or disabling door locks
Tampering with a machine lock or lock out/tag out lock, only Washburn Staff are permitted to repair machinery

By signing below, I agree to abide by the Washburn Shops Access Policy and the terms outlined in this agreement as a condition of my use of the Washburn Shops.
