<br>
You can request access via. [https://hms.nottinghack.org.uk/ Nottinghack HMS (Hackspace Management System)] and requests are approved by a Trustee.}}


== Current Status ==


We are currently in '''Level 1'''. This means you can request access via. the [https://hms.nottinghack.org.uk/ Nottinghack HMS (Hackspace Management System)]. [[HMS:_Space_Access|A video of how to apply via. HMS is available]].


With immediate effect, the Trustees have decided to restrict access to the Nottingham Hackspace for all members.
All requests are approved by a trustee. A reason must be provided, which details what you are planning to do or why you need to go and it is "essential". Once approved an email with confirmation will be sent to your email address.


You will still be allowed to access the Space, though you will need to request access at least a couple of days in advance of your visit.  
These bookable slots are up to 3 hours in length; you make a single booking at a time for yourself only and no guests are allowed. You should exit the space '''before''' your time is up by the workshop door (if upstairs).


This is to coordinate fair usage of the Space and to limit the risk of proximity to other members.  
New requests for access are reviewed between 9AM and 5PM - you should request at least a day in advance and there is no guarantee of a request being approved. Even if approved the trustees will always have oversight of bookings and may suggest new times or revoke access if required for some reason. You will be clearly informed if this is ever the case.


Trustees have developed a process to ensure you can access the Space if you need to. Access will be granted for essential use ONLY.
== Rules ==


Your RFID will NOT allow you access unless you have been through this process.
There are a number of rules that '''must''' be adhered to with the current, and likely future levels of opening:


Access will be limited to 2 or 3 hours. You will need to apply each time you need access.
# Bring what you need and take home everything you bring; clean up after yourself.
# Do not leave the space late for any reason.
# Leave only by the workshop door if upstairs, not the spiral staircase door, and tag yourself out properly.
# Do not attempt to use tools the Trustees have deemed dangerous during sole occupancy, eg: Table Saw. These will be marked and turned off.


Trustees will ONLY respond to requests received between 9am and 5pm.
Once multiple occupancy is introduced there will be an additional rule on the use of masks in the presence of others and social distancing requirements.


 
These are for your own safety and the safety of others. The trustees will be enforcing these rules and any rule breaking will be taken seriously. You can email the trustees or contact them on slack about any potential issues.
See FAQ below, for more answers to other questions.  
 
==Requesting access==
 
To request access you need to email: trustees AT nottinghack.org.uk
 
Providing:
* Your Name
* Your contact mobile number:
* Your reason for visiting:
* The time and date you intend to visit
 
Do NOT head to the space until you have had confirmation.
 
Trustees will send a form letter as a reply with a YES or NO message.  
 
Alternatively you can request access via this phone number: 0115 824 5002
 
ONLY USE PHONE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE EMAIL. '''EMAIL is the MAIN way to contact.'''
 
 
===During your visit===
 
As a courtesy to other members please announce your Entry & Exit to the hackspace in the #in-the-space-now channel on [[Slack]].
{{note|You will only be able to see this private channel if your access request is granted.}}

Revision as of 17:37, 3 July 2020

Current Status

We are currently in Level 1. This means you can request access via. the Nottinghack HMS (Hackspace Management System). A video of how to apply via. HMS is available.

All requests are approved by a trustee. A reason must be provided, which details what you are planning to do or why you need to go and it is "essential". Once approved an email with confirmation will be sent to your email address.

These bookable slots are up to 3 hours in length; you make a single booking at a time for yourself only and no guests are allowed. You should exit the space before your time is up by the workshop door (if upstairs).

New requests for access are reviewed between 9AM and 5PM - you should request at least a day in advance and there is no guarantee of a request being approved. Even if approved the trustees will always have oversight of bookings and may suggest new times or revoke access if required for some reason. You will be clearly informed if this is ever the case.

Rules

There are a number of rules that must be adhered to with the current, and likely future levels of opening:

  1. Bring what you need and take home everything you bring; clean up after yourself.
  2. Do not leave the space late for any reason.
  3. Leave only by the workshop door if upstairs, not the spiral staircase door, and tag yourself out properly.
  4. Do not attempt to use tools the Trustees have deemed dangerous during sole occupancy, eg: Table Saw. These will be marked and turned off.

Once multiple occupancy is introduced there will be an additional rule on the use of masks in the presence of others and social distancing requirements.

These are for your own safety and the safety of others. The trustees will be enforcing these rules and any rule breaking will be taken seriously. You can email the trustees or contact them on slack about any potential issues.
