1. Building Policies
   
   a) Member acknowledges and agrees to the following Building Rules & Policies for all MAKEbhm members and their guests. “We” and “our” refer to MAKEbhm, and “you” and “your” refer to members that are subject to the Building Rules & Policies, including Member.
   
   

   1. MAKEbhm strives to provide a safe, productive and fun work environment for its Members and Guests. In light of this mission, we ask you to obey the following policies and procedures for working in our facility. Failure to obey these policies and procedures can make our facilities dangerous or unwelcoming to others, and such actions on your part may result in your license being terminated without notice. Please take them seriously. We reserve the right to change these policies and procedures as needed and with sufficient notice to members.
      
      

   2. Individual Safety:
      
      Obey all posted signs and literature pertaining to safe use of our facilities. These include but are not limited to signs regarding appropriate shop clothing and protective gear, techniques for safe equipment use, material-specific precautions for equipment, and machine tool lockouts. Do not use equipment you are not comfortable with or trained to use. Our strong preference is that you not operate heavy machinery after staffed hours without a partner in the facility; operate it individually at your own risk. Ask for help if uncertain.
      
      

   3. Shared Safety:
      
      In a shared and open facility like ours, it is possible for less-experienced members to operate equipment dangerously without knowing it. Please stay on the lookout for unsafe behavior, and approach and offer feedback to fellow members if you believe they are working unsafely. Please notify staff immediately if you believe any piece of equipment or infrastructure to be unsafe. Hazardous materials are strictly prohibited. Members are fully responsible for understanding, mitigating, and avoiding all hazards of the material or medium with which they are using, including any additional cleaning required to maintain a safe working environment. If you are unsure if a material is hazardous, consult with MAKEbhm staff.
      
      

   4. Building Security
      
      Members and guests will not compromise the building security or the security of the spaces therein and will ensure that all reasonable measures are taken to safeguarded the Building, its occupants and the occupants possessions. At no time should security locks be bypassed or left in an open position and external doors should never be propped open whilst unattended. Access codes are unique to each Member and should not be shared, even with other Members. Members will not compromise the Building’s protection from fire, flood, gas, electricity or weather.
      
      

   5. Common Area Cleanliness
      
      It is expected that Members clean up after themselves in all common areas. Members using the kitchen facility are expected to clean up promptly, including dishware, sink, countertop, and dining table. Members using the restroom are expected to notify staff of any cleaning or restocking needs promptly. Members who consistently leave common areas unclean are subject to cleaning fees.
      
      

   6. Quiet Enjoyment
      
      It is expected that Members will observe the quiet enjoyment and normal use of the Building at all times and not damage or deface the Building or its fixtures, fittings, decor and furnishings.
      
      

   7. Open Environment
      
      This is an open office/space shared by many different people and organizations. Anything that is said should be expected to be heard by others.
      
      

   8. Respectful Behavior:
      
      In both in-person and electronic interactions, behave respectfully, courteously, and professionally to your fellow members. No discrimination, harassment, or hate speech shall be tolerated. MAKEbhm expressly prohibits any form of workplace harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, or veteran status. Improper interference with the ability of MAKEbhm’s Members or guests to perform their job duties may result in discipline up to and including loss of membership, termination of license, and discharge from the facility.
      
      

   9. Courtesy of Individual Spaces:
      
      Do not enter any individual workspaces that are not yours without explicit permission. Do not use materials or tools belonging to other people without permission. Do not steal. If you are licensing space from us, please keep your individual space relatively orderly.
      
      

   10. Courtesy of Shared Spaces:
       
       Keep noise levels to a respectful minimum for the comfort and enjoyment of those in the immediate area. No loud music, tool use or other noise will be permitted in the open rental areas without the explicit permission of the members around you. No fumes or flames are permitted in unventilated areas. Restore the shared spaces and studios to be as clean as or cleaner than when you found them. Please respect and do not interrupt any official MAKEbhm activities or classes in the shared spaces.
       
       

   11. Presence:
       
       Inactivity and lack of physical presence at our community facility can be detrimental to our mission and prevent others from using the space. Please inform us of any extended absences or extenuating circumstances that might prevent you from attending. Otherwise, we expect Members to make regular use of our facilities.
       
       

   12. Guests:
       
       Non-Member guests are permitted in the Building so long as they do not use MAKEbhm equipment or shared areas or interfere with other Members.

Any recurring guest must sign a liability waiver. MAKEbhm reserves the right to require any guest in the building to sign a liability waiver.
