All personnel using the General Shop equipment are responsible for obtaining certification from their immediate supervisor or the faculty member in charge of their project. The shop supervisor is responsible for ensuring that all personnel understand and comply with all safety rules and requirements. The individual will sign a "statement of acknowledgement" that they have had prior experience or training and that they understand the safe operating procedures. The "statement of acknowledgement" will also require the signature of the individual's supervisor.
