Please take a few minutes to read this New Members Guide to orientate yourself with our ways and practices. ===== Official stuff ===== * [[:membership | Membership Info]] - Details of what types of membership are available, benefits, etc. * It is a legal requirement for The Artifactory to maintain a register of members, with full name, email or address, and contact details. * The Rules - [[Constitution]] & [[:committee:committeerulings#by-laws:|By-laws]] * [[committee:start | The Committee]] * The Perth Artifactory [[https://wiki.artifactory.org.au/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=events:artifactory_emergency_plan_-_june_2019.png |Emergency Plan is available for viewing here]] in addition to those displayed in every single room of the Artifactory. It shows the location of the first aid kits, Fire extinguishers/hose, switchboard, muster point and escape route. ===== The space is Communal ===== We are designated as a factory space. * Ensure access areas are kept clean, tools are safe * Ensure that your clothing is appropriate. Keep it nice for everyone else: * **pick up your rubbish,** * wipe, sweep or vacuum your area after use, * put away the stuff you used, * vacuums and dustpan & brooms are in abundance. * **Leave the space cleaner than you found it.** * You can set up a project that requires a small fixed construction area for a reasonable period of time, but be prepared to move it. Label your construction with your name and contact details, especially if it's dangerous (high voltage, batteries, caustic or acidic chemicals, etc). * When you're going to be in the space, let people know! Send a message to the mailing list and turn on the [[:projects:lightboxsign|Beacon of Guthrie St]]. * [[Dangerous Projects And Tools Policy]] * Do not use power wood cutting tools inside, nor spray paints - the dust can affect electronics, furniture, and other member's breathing. Try to avoid use of resins or other volatiles inside as well. ===== Storage Space ===== ==== Member Storage (Locker/Tubs/etc) ==== *Members are entitled (subject to availability) to a single committee authorised storage space (up to 150L) left in a tidy and safe state. It maybe a locker or storage space on the pallet rack.
