This is an incredible shop space

Hi frank

Eyewash stations that's a good one
We do have some and we do have the hard piped fountain style but it wasn't highlighted in the video
Any incidences that happen in the shop we report to security and they have a team that come down that are fully equipped to handle all emergency situations or accidental
I had an incident that happened last year or a student tool broke and it made a small cut under his left eye I think I notified security and told him it was a small cut but it was close to his eye and I wanted it fully documented in case something happened
This was the first time that I've ever seen this style of response when the team arrived Literally in seconds One of the guards even had a defibrillator

That's reassuring, having dealt with students and apprentices of many levels of expertise throughout the years I found the rawest newest most inexperienced to have been the most willing to follow the rules, that is if they possess the capacity to understand the potential dangers without having to experience them first. You just have to expand their attention span long enough to implant the effects of the causes first. The ones who lack the ability to focus their attention long enough to learn a few basics, generally will also be lacking in the abilities to put forth any serious effort to completing their studies and will soon wash themselves out of the programs. It's those who bring with them some pre learned skills without having learned proper safety measures and those who are further along in the various aspects of a program who will often times try to ignore or push the boundaries. Sadly, the worst will be students who are older with a few to many years of machine shop experience who are attempting to upgrade their skill sets to newer technologies who may be the most difficult to retrain. Say for instance someone who had worked for many years in a high production facility where the main focus were production quotas at any cost. Maybe they were accustomed to hogging off the bulk of material as fast as reasonably possible then making a single final clean up pass to fit a go-no go template on a single spindle mechanical machine but now they are wanting to expand their knowledge to a highspeed multi spindle machine with automatic multiple tool change selections the learning curve can get expensive before they even realize what they have done. The instructors will have their hands full with them. Even with 55+ years of shop experience all of it self-taught for the most part there are many machines I would find myself no more qualified to operate than I would be at trying to land one of the retired space shuttles
