Shed Safety Incident
You
may have heard that last week we had a serious first aid incident at
the Shed. It required a trip to the doctor for stitches.
This incident is a timely reminder that we need to be vigilant to ensure everyone at the shed can carry out their tasks safely.
This
incident had two root causes. Firstly, two sheets of plate glass with
the sharp, ragged corners of the glass protruding out from the shelf on
which they were left was present in the sanding area where it was a
hazard. Secondly, work was carried out in the area without the work-
space being adequately evaluated for potential hazards.
Please
be vigilant. Don’t leave items where they could do harm and before you
work in an area have a thorough look around. You should also consider
wearing long trousers in what is our workshop area. Of course, you don’t
need to be working in the area to act if you see a hazard or someone
doing something that could result in harm. -
New Shed Badges
We have now completed all new Badges for Shed Members.
If you can't locate your new badge please inform the Supervisor and we'll prepare one for you.
In the changeover we may have not transcribed your Emergency Number from the back of the old Badge, so please check for this and write it on. All others, please write these details on the back of your badges next time you are in the Shed
Changes to the For Sale Section in the Newsletter
The Shed Executive has suggested we change the For Sale section of the Newsletter to incorporate two new Sections.
The first section will be Shed Products for Sale. This
will enable any Group within the Shed to advertise their specific products for
sale to Members via our online Shop.
The second section will be Gift your Unwanted Items. This
will be for Members who would like to advertise any items that they would like
to offer free of charge to other Members. All you would need to do is send an
email with a picture, a short description of the item/s along with your name
and contact number to Malcolm at newsletter.editor1.msclaremont@mail.tidyhq.com and we
will advertise it in the Weekly Newsletter for one week.

birthday cakes to help members celebrate their birthdays at the regular
