General Safety
What every member needs to know before picking up a tool
Safety at KuShed is everyone’s responsibility. Before using any equipment, members are required to complete a general induction and sign the safety register. All incidents — however minor — must be reported to the Coordinator on duty. Personal protective equipment is available at the Shed and must be worn where indicated. If you’re unsure about anything, ask before you start.
