Team:Safety/Monthly Inspection

Certain safety items within the Hackspace must be inspected periodically, and a record of the process kept. This is the responsibility of the Trustees and/or Safety Team, but if you see something that doesn’t look right – say something!

It is intended that the first time this inspection is formally carried out the list should be edited to include the locations of relevant items to ensure nothing is missed.
