Tools & Equipment Use Policy

Bring your tools

• If you're a member, bring your tools and equipment!
  • Consider donating some tools to HacDC for everyone's use. Let the Minister of Finance know if you donate a tool!
  • If you want to leave a tool for general use, but retain ownership, CLEARLY LABEL it as your property, via engraving or permanent marker.
  • If you do not want people using a tool of yours, you must lock it up somewhere.
• Every tool must have a designated storage space.

Use Tools Responsibly

• SAFETY FIRST. Always use all applicable safety equipment whenever using a tool
• Tools labelled "HacDC" are for all member use at all times. Do not hog tools!
• Tool owners have first priority use over their tools at all times, even if left out for public use. Be considerate of those loaning you their tools!
• If you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it until someone shows you how.
• NEVER use a power tool unless you are specifically authorized and trained to use one.
• If you need specific authorization to use a tool, get that authorization before using it.
• If you break a tool, let the owner know
  • If you break a HacDC tool, write [email protected] with specifics on what happened.
  • If you break a privately owned tool, contact the owner.

Put Tools Away

• Return every tool and piece of equipment to its proper SAFE position when finished.
• If you get a tool or piece of equipment dirty, clean it.
• Every tool must be put away when finished.
