MIT shops and makerspaces play a critical role in education, research and maintenance activities at MIT. This webpage provides EHS guidance and links to resources useful for working safely with the tools and machines used in these areas and maintaining compliance with relevant safety and environmental regulations. The guidance on this webpage applies to any space on Campus where machines and digital fabrication tools are used, including research labs. For information specific to makerspaces in student housing, contact the Division of Student Life (DSL) EHS Program Manager.
Note: If you supervise a shop or makerspace, see the “Resources for Shop and Makerspace Supervisors/Managers” section.
User Training
It is important to understand the safety rules for your shop or makerspaces and know how to safely operate each tool you use. The PI and supervisor of the shop, makerspace, or other location with tools are responsible forensuring that all users are trained. In almost allspaces, the training below is required.
Prior to working in a shop, new users need shop-specific training. There should be a written record of this training. It should cover, at a minimum:
Basic shop/fabrication safety, including appropriate attire, use of personal protective equipment and the location of safety equipment such as eyewashes and fire extinguishers;
Reporting and removing defective or damaged tools from service;
Actions to take in the event of an emergency, building evacuation, accident, or observation of an unsafe condition.
Users may receive their tool-specific training as part of the shop specific training or separately. Individuals with prior experience using specific tools may furnish documentation of their training from other trusted shops and, at the discretion of the Shop Supervisor, then demonstrate proficiency with specific tools to qualify for authorization to use those tool(s). Shop Managers have overall authority to determine who may use their space.
Tool-specific training may include the following:
The hazards (physical, chemical, etc.) associated with the equipment;
Proper selection, use, adjustment, and cleaning of specific tools and equipment;
Inspection procedures prior to tool use;
Use and function of guards, shields, special fixturing, remote parts handling or retrieval, emergency stops, and any other safety features or components.
In most shops/makerspaces, the shop supervisor/manager makes decisions about how to manage chemical waste (oil, cutting fluid, solvents, acids/bases, etc.) and determines operating procedures and allowable materials forwater jets and sanding, grinding or other tools that could cause an environmental release if used incorrectly. If you generate chemical waste, collect chemical waste, manage chemical waste, or could cause non-compliance related to chemical waste or water discharge in a shop or maker space either Hazardous Waste/Water Pollution Ctrl-MS (EHS00521) or the more general Managing Hazardous Waste (EHS00501) must be completed before beginning work and then annually. For additional information on accessing EHS-related training, visit Training.
Machine Guarding
According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) statistics, approximately 18,000 individuals who are exposed to unguarded or inadequately guarded machines suffer from amputations, lacerations, crushing injuries and abrasions annually. Additionally, over 800 individuals per year die from unguarded or inadequately guarded machines. For this reason, OSHA regulations require that any machine part, function, or process that can cause injury to an individual have appropriate machine guarding. Note that equipment that does not comply with OSHA regulations can be purchased.
Locations where machine safeguarding is necessary include the point of operation, nip points, rotating parts, and moving parts that can lead to flying chips and sparks. The specific machine guarding method will vary depending on the type of machinery. Per OSHA requirements, all machine guards must:
Prevent contact with the hazard
Be secured in place and tamper proof
Create no new hazards
Allow for lubrication of the machine with the guard still in place
Not interfere with the machine’s operation
If you have questions about guarding requirements for your equipment, please contact EHS, environment@mit.edu.
Digital Fabrication
Digital fabrication tools use digital data to control additive and subtractive manufacturing tools and machines such as 3D printers, laser cutters, water jets and CNC milling machines. EHS has developed guidance for two digital fabrication tools: 3D Printers and Laser Cutters.
3D printers are increasingly used to make customized structures, prototypes, parts, and fixtures for research needs and student projects at MIT. They are one of the most common digital fabrication tools due to their accessibility and relatively low cost. Review thisdetailedEHS guidance on 3D printers and3D Printer Safety: Best Practices for Removing Prints from Build Plates for information on preventing injuries associated with a common 3D printer task.
Laser cutters are digital fabrication tools common in most makerspaces. Like 3D printers they are useful for many types of projects and research applications. Key considerations for the safe use of laser cutters include proper ventilation and robust procedures for operation and maintenance. Visit the Laser Cutter Safetywebpage for best practices for safe use and a detailed laser cutter safety document.
Resources for Shop Supervisors/Managers
Shop and makerspace supervisors/managers play a key role in maintaining health and safety in their work areas by ensuring effective rules and procedures are in place and users receive adequate training before operating tools. New supervisors should contact the EHS Office to be added to the machine shop email list and training group. This list is used to send invites to shop supervisor meetings and distribute relevant EHS information to shops and makerspaces.
Shop and Makerspace Guidance Document
The EHS Office in collaboration with other stakeholders on campus developed theShop and Makerspace Safetydocument (MIT Certificate required).
The guidance document gives information for the administration and the oversight of shops and makerspaces. It establishes a framework for classifying and safely using tools and equipment and outlines training and supervision requirements.
Shop Supervisor/Manager Training Responsibilities and Requirements
Shop supervisors/managers are responsible for ensuring that all users complete shop-specific and individual tool training as detailed in the User Training section. Shop supervisors/managers should document user training. There should be a system such as card access or shop mentors in place to ensure that only authorized, trained users have access.
Shop Managers must fulfill training requirements in the following areas related to shop and makerspace safety. Please contact the EHS Office, environment@mit.edu, to be added to the Shop Supervisors/Managers training group.
Hazard Communication covers chemical awareness and safety in shops and makerspaces.Visit the links below for more information on the MIT Hazard Communication Program or Hazard Communication training:
Hazardous Waste Generation/Water Pollution Controls training is important to protect the people, environment, and the workplace from harmful effects. All supervisor roles for shops and makerspaces which generate chemical waste (oil, cutting fluids, photo chemicals, solvents, acids/bases, oil-based-paints, etc.) must complete an annual hazardous waste training course. This training can be accomplished through EHS viain-person shop/makerspace specific sessions (EHS00521) offered monthly or the more general Managing Hazardous Waste training (EHS00501). You can also schedule a site-specific version for the members of your group/shop by contacting EHS.
Emergency Preparedness for Shop Supervisors. This training covers emergency preparedness for your shop or makerspace. Contact EHS for the next scheduled class.
Lock-out/Tag-Out Authorized Person is required before servicing or maintenance of certain equipment. Additional information about MIT’s Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Program, including LOTO Authorized Person training, is available on the LOTO page.
Environmental Management
Shops and makerspaces must follow the same chemical waste regulations as laboratories and other MIT spaces. Areas of concern for the MIT Environmental Management Program include oil and cutting fluid, 3D printing waste, paints and aerosol cans.
Visit theChemical Wastepage for chemical waste requirements such as determining which wastes are hazardous, labeling, collecting, and/or disposing chemical wastes. Note, anyone who generates hazardous wastes at MIT is required to complete training annually.
The type of hazardous wastes generated during 3-D printing depends on the type of printing done and the process used to wash or finish the parts:
Finishing Washes / Baths: Printed parts are often washed in a caustic (high-pH) bath or a solvent (often isopropanol) bath. Used caustic and solvent must be collected as hazardous waste and disposed of via the EHS waste disposal program, and collection is best done in a 5-gallon ‘carboy’ available from EHS.
Resins: Left-over or un-cured resins are often toxic to people or the environment, and should be collected for disposal as chemical waste. Un-cured resins left over from SLA or Polyjet printers can be collected in a bucket/barrel available from EHS.
Metals: Waste from any project that includes arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium or silver must be collected as hazardous waste. Also of concern are any very small (< 100 um) raw (haven’t yet been exposed to atmospheric oxygen) metals due to the risk of fire during oxidation. Contact EHS if you have a process which uses powdered metals.
If the liquid base of the paint is water (latex paint) then paint can be left open until the water evaporates, then the solidified pigment/can is OK for disposal as normal trash. However, if the liquid base of the paint is oil or a non-water solvent, then the can must be tightly closed and disposed of through the EHS hazardous waste program. Contact EHS if your shop has a stockpile of old paints to get rid of.
Solvent chemicals such as turpentine, acetone, and alcohols are ‘ignitable’ chemicals and must be collected for disposal through the EHS chemical waste program.It is typically OK to mix these wastes into a single container that EHS can provide.
In Massachusetts, oil is always a ‘toxic’ hazardous chemical waste (unless from an animal or vegetable source). This includes cutting fluids used in lathes and similar equipment – even ‘biodegradable’ fluids – because they are considered oils. All lubricating oils, oils from pumps and compressors, and cutting fluids must be collected for disposal through the EHS hazardous waste program. EHS can provide drums or barrels for collecting these wastes in your shop.
Because oil is a hazardous waste, metal shavings which are oil-soaked should be collected as hazardous waste for disposal through EHS. Shavings can be allowed to drip/shed oil so that they can be recycled, provided the drips/shed oil is collected as hazardous waste. EHS can help provide drums/containers for oil collection.
Spent shop rags typically fall into two categories:
Oily Rags must be collected as hazardous waste only if they are ‘saturated’; if they would drip oil if wrung/squeezed tightly, then they are hazardous waste and must be collected in a bucket that EHS can provide.
Solvent/Stain Rags which have been used with a chemical that is not oil, and which is a hazardous waste when disposed, must also be collected and disposed of as hazardous waste. EHS can provide a bucket to collect these wastes.
Note: some soiled rags pose a significant threat of fire – rags with linseed oil being primary among them. Contact EHS if you will be using rags with linseed oil, tung oil or pine oil, as specific collection practices are required
Which are not completely empty (i.e. absolutely no propellant and no product left inside) are typically not regulated as hazardous wastes. However, most shop-related aerosol cans have ignitable propellants, oil or solvent based ingredients, or some other hazardous property which requires collection if not completely empty. EHS can provide a bucket or barrel to collect waste aerosol cans for disposal through the hazardous waste program.
The colors in glazes and pigments used in ceramics and art applications are sometimes created using toxic heavy metals. In these cases the waste pigments/glazes must be collected as hazardous wastes and disposed of through EHS. When purchasing these types of materials, always select the ones without toxic heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, etc.) as they are MUCH safer to work with.
Filters which separate out/collect material which is hazardous waste become hazardous waste themselves when it’s time for disposal. Examples include oil filters (oil is a hazardous waste), filters used at lead soldering locations and paint spray booth filters (the paints are often hazardous wastes). Spent filters must be collected for disposal through EHS, and can often be combined in containers with rags and other hazardous waste debris.
There are some specific rules that dark room operations must follow, including safety and water discharge rules. From a hazardous waste standpoint, spent fixer is heavilyladen with toxic silver compounds and must be collected as hazardous waste. Contact EHS if you’d like to set up a photo-processing operation.
Waterjets use abrasive silicate minerals referred to as ‘garnet’ to cut metals and other objects. While spent garnet is almost never regulated hazardous waste (unless lead or stainless steel is cut in the waterjet), it is heavy and difficult to manage.EHS can provide drums to collect spent garnet and alsoassist in finding contractors to do the shoveling/removal. Note that because of contaminants in the water flows, waterjets cannot be set up in places that do not have dedicated industrial wastewater collection systems. Contact EHS for help with siting and setting up a new waterjet.
Wastes generated which contained or are contaminated with lead solder must be collected as hazardous chemical waste for disposal through EHS. This includes left over solder, solder drops, and other contaminated materials.
Recommendations for Purchasing Equipment
It is the responsibility of the tool purchaser to ensure that safety features required by regulation such as guarding and emergency power off buttons are included. EHS recommends that when considering tools for purchase, ensure they are NRTL labeled or listed and comply with all relevant safety standards for machine tools and other equipment. It’s also important to determine that the shop infrastructure can support any needed facility requirements of the tool such as exhaust ventilation and that the shop has the needed safety equipment such as eyewashes. Shop supervisors should involve their Facility Manager or other responsible person when considering the purchase of tools with infrastructure needs.
Laser Hazards
Tool purchasers should also be aware of equipment with increasing commercial availability that may present laser hazards. This equipment includes laser welders and laser cutters where the beam may not be isolated inside an appropriate enclosure. Before purchasing any lasers for your shops/makerspace, especially Class IV lasers, contact the EHS Radiation Protection Program for guidance.
Incident and Injury Reporting
All incidents, injuries and significant near misses should be reported. The EHS Occupational Injury or Illness Reporting webpage has instructions for reporting injuries for both employees and students. The EHS Coordinator or EHS team member for your department can assist in reporting other incidents.
