Apologies for the delay - other things have taken up my time since volunteering to get the training and quiz up to date - but hopefully I can get this kickstarted again and have the training material and quiz online soon. Thanks for your patience. 

This is the example equipment page which should be used as a starting point for new pages.

All text with a coloured background and blue text like this, is instructions for creating a new page and should be deleted as the new page is completed.

This page is hidden from the navigation but is visible in the published site if you know the URL.

The purpose of the Equipment Page is:

1. To be the go to place for information about that particular piece of equipment.

2. To be the quick reference for that equipment.

3. To allow a new member to understand what that equipment does and to decide if they might want to know how to use it.

4. To provide an entry point into training or any other things needed to use the equipment safely and effectively.

The first thing on each page is the SAFETY SHEET, this is a 1 page Slides presentation which should contain 

1. The classification of the equipment (RED: training required, members only, ORANGE: members only, use only if confident to do so, GREEN: free to use for all)

2. Any PPE required, using ISO7010 compliant symbols and presentation, as a single line if possible

3. Hazard warnings, using ISO7010 compliant symbols and presentation, as a single line if possible

4. Bullet points reminding users of the safety critical aspects of using the equipment. This is the set of things which all users MUST have top of mind when using this equipment. In order to maintain focus on the critical things this sheet MUST be kept to a single page, and MUST contain only safety information. Information about how to use the equipment to best effect, and even how to avoid damaging the equipment does not belong here, all RED equipment MUST have a training page on the training site and other information can be placed below on this page.

The safety sheet is presented as a single page Slides document because this can be embeddedin line in a Sites page (like this) and a Docs document which can be used for posters etc. It is important that the PPE requirements and safety sheet information is linked, rather than copied, into all the places it is needed to avoid discrepencies.

Example safety sheets can be found in the G Drive folder Training_Coursework/Example Equipment

This is RED EQUIPMENT.
