Redevelopment Feb 2018

In Feb 2018 the Hand tools induction was separated from the soldering induction and was redeveloped as a minimum standard OH&S induction in the Fabrication Lab. The Concept was that any person entering the Fabrication Lab ( who is not just visiting ) will complete this 10 min induction before checking in for the first time. Without this handtools induction you can't even pick up a screwdriver or craft knife. Other aims connected to this redevelopment were to enable us to

safely and quickly engage newcomers to the fab lab whether as an individual or in a group/workshop context.

to quickly give newcomers a sense of membership/ownership of the resources and to encourage return visitation - now that they are officiallyinducted.

As per all Edge workshops participants leave with a takeaway.

The email confirming newly inducted participants is an opportunity for promotion of Fab Lab and other resources.

This new induction process can be broken into 4 sections
