The safety orientation will take you through a tour of the shop and ensure you understand the rules and responsibilities within the shop. At the end of the orientation, you must successfully complete a safety quiz.
The safety orientation, as well as Tool specific training for some machinery in the shop is part of the IGEN 230 curriculum. Trainings will occur during lab times that are a part of your standard time table, as well as on Wednesday afternoons. Make sure you attend your designated lab sections to complete these mandatory trainings.
If you are unable to attend training during IGEN 230, please contact us.
Safety orientations for upper years will be held weekly throughout the year. To register for a safety orientation, please click here.
Come visit us during Shop open hours! Here you are free to work on your projects and ask the supervisor(s) any shop related questions you might have. Don’t forget to scan your card when you enter!
Supervisors will be there to help guide you through the powered equipment you need to use in the Shop. Even if you have learned how to use a tool elsewhere, you will still need an orientation about our specific tool.
For specialized tools such as the waterjet, welders or lathes, check the Training page for more information.
Join us for a community meeting after you complete your training to get after hours card access! Regular attendance (once every months) will ensure your access is maintained. Community meeting times will be posted on the Shop Notion, as well as announced via the IGEN newsletter, IGEN Discord, and in the clubroom.
Check back here later. Access for external groups is expected to be set up for mid-late November.
Please familiarize yourself with the IGEN workshop policies and please keep in mind there are an additional set of rules that apply to external users.
