(((draft status only)))

We need to concisely indicate and track user training status per equipment item, and provide information on who can provide training.

Suggested solution; a tool regulation / training chart in each room for applicable equipment (hand power tools and static machine tools will probably need separate charts for clarity)

Example training chart for the workshop machines, with pseudorandom data:


Bandsaw Draper Sander Bench Grinder Drill Press Chop Saw Table Saw Router Table CNC
Steve X X X X X X X X
Jon X X X X X X X X
Adam X X X X X X X X
Fred X X X
Boaty X X X


X = user signature Able to train Owner


Suggested other restricted tools:


Sabre Saw Circular Saw Jigsaw Planer Sanders Angle Grinder Heat Gun Drill Router Biscuit Jointer


Laser Cutter 3D Printers



To indicate power tool status concisely on the tools themselves, tape code is suggested, forming a band atop a tool handle or by the switch.


Red tape; Users need general training, eg drill, jigsaw

Red tape with a black stripe: Seek owner permission prior to use – owner should be indicated via label machine labels. Eg biscuit jointer.


Red/black striped tape without a named owner indicates to seek permission from/advise the Keyholder before use. Examples might be say the nailgun, a blowtorch, or wood oils (delayed fire hazard).
