== Deadnaming ==
== No drinking alcohol on premise? ==
I don't know what this means. [[User:Jschrempp|Jschrempp]] ([[User talk:Jschrempp|talk]])
 
deadname is the birth name of a person who has since changed their name (especially a transgender person).
Deadnaming is refusing to call a person by their name, only by their deadname.
 
== Overall Policy ==
I think we should say we reserve the right to alter the policy at any time to meet our objectives. [[User:Jschrempp|Jschrempp]] ([[User talk:Jschrempp|talk]])
 
Agreed. I added the below.  May be a bit strong. [[User:Sbaker|Sbaker]]
 
''The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to alter or amend the rules as it determines appropriate for the safety of its members.
''
 
== Materials Move Around ==
I don't understand this: "Insure materials move around the facility and are stored in a safe and approved manner." [[User:Jschrempp|Jschrempp]] ([[User talk:Jschrempp|talk]])
 
I found this in one of the Maker Ethics, and it seems to be from the Dept of Labor, Materials and Handling Guidelines.
But I recall hearing similar in a couple of my classes.
It's to insure when move or store materials, you are safe about it.  I've added some examples.
For example:
* Don't walk thru the maker space with something dangerous (acid, etc) that's easy to spill.  Put a lid on it, etc.
* Don't store an acid in something it can eat thru sometime late at night when nobody is around.  Keep it in an approved container. AND Don't store a flammable in an open container.

== Can members have guests and if so can a guest touch equipment or tools? ==
Yes, members can have guests.  However, I think insurance coverage will dictate the answer to the second part.
What does MN insurance say about guests touching equipment and tools?<br>
Would MN insurance cover if they slip and fell?  sew a finger?  hammer a thumb?  I suspect it depends a little on the tool.
 
To me this isn't Ethics and Conduct, it's the 'Guest Policy'.  If we do allow a guest they are bound by the same Ethics and Conduct.
I'd have a separate document for that policy.

== When can a minor sign a waver and use equipment with adult supervision. ==
Depends on what insurance says.  Does an equipment have a minimum age for use no matter the supervision?
A sewing machine is different than a CNC machine.
 
What's the minimum supervision 1 minor = 1 adult required? is it different for different age/maturity?  Who adjudicates?
 
What do you do if the kid breaks the rules and there's no guardian on premise or a kid is left without an adult?
 
I think this should have a specific policy called 'Minors in the Makerspace'

I don't want people to leave pets in a car which is another risk.
