Sorry, I just saw 'drunks & power tools' in OP's message and
relayed how we deal with that particular scenario, which for now is
rooted in our H&S policy.<br>
<br>
However, we're actively developing a CoC at the moment (better late
than never!). The discussion on our own list has been pretty lively.<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> We tend to err on
'don't restrict unless it become a serious problem', in
this case we have alcohol at our space, and members
BYOB. Sometimes there's leftover booze from parties and
other events. It hasn't caused a problem so far.<br>
<br>
Our Health and Safety policy is common-sense and
due-diligence based. We provide safety gear, procedures
and training for specific tools (like a laser cutter or
cnc router), but otherwise you're on your own. If you
hurt yourself using power tools after 10 beers, it's
your own damn fault. <br>
<br>
Additionally, a member can be asked to leave, faces
suspension or even termination for irresponsible and
dangerous behavior that goes against the H&S policy.<span
