Safety Spiel

Please be safe at Free Geek. We ask/require that volunteers wear Personal Protective Equipment while working at Free Geek. Different areas have different requirements.

• show volunteer gloves and safety glasses, volunteers are encouraged to wear them for regular receiving/evaluation/testing work. PPE are required for all recycling tasks!
• point out First Aid Kits, ask that volunteers inform staff of ALL injuries,
• check out tool kit, and ask volunteer to inform you of any issues with tools (worn, broken, missing)
• ask volunteers if they will need any help lifting or moving gizmos, make sure they know who to ask for help
• unsafe work practices (hammering, breaking) will not be tolerated, let volunteers know to ask for help opening systems, or removing parts
