Talk:Ethics and Conduct
Deadnaming
I don't know what this means. 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. Jschrempp (talk)
Agreed. I added the below. May be a big strong. 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." 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. 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.
- Be careful walking thru the makerspace with a long pole. Recommend getting a partner so you can't swing it into anything unintentionally.
- Insure the board you want to cut can move thru the saw with clearance from front to back.
Other Questions/Issues for Discussion
- Can members have guests and if so can a guest touch equipment or tools?
- When can a minor sign a waver and use equipment with adult supervision.
- No drinking alcohol on premise?
- 'on premise' may be more than the building because of outdoor activities. I don't want people to leave pets in a car which is another risk.
- Sell, vend, petition, marketing for outside vendors policy?
- Prohibit sexual activity?
