  1. Wetworks

PPE

Personal Protective Equipment is clothing or equipment worn for protection against health and safety hazards. It is an integral consideration when using the Wetworks, as many materials are hazardous.

Minimum Requirements

The minimum PPE to be worn in the wetworks is that which addresses all of the dangers currently present in the space.

Where to Find It

Any supplied PPE that you require for the Wetworks is in the cabinet across from the Guru desk. Any non-disposable PPE that you borrow must be returned to this cabinet by the end of the day.

Supplying Your Own

You can supply your own PPE, but you must check with the Guru to make sure it meets the requirements of the space.

If the task you are completing requires special PPE, ask the Guru if the Maker Spaces has any, otherwise you will need to source your own.
