#All guests and members must follow the Code of Conduct.

#The Directors may expel or suspend anyone who violates the Code of Conduct from the premises, online systems, or at sponsored events. a. The member being suspended, and the other Directors must be informed in writing as soon as possible. b. An email sent to the email address on file in the Members’ Portal ([https://my.protospace.ca/ SpacePort]) shall be considered sufficient written notice. It is the member’s responsibility to keep this email address up to date. c. An expulsion or suspension will trigger an automatic motion to reinstate the member at the next available Members Meeting. Actions occurring within 72 hours of the next Members’ Meeting will be deferred to the following Meeting to give the membership sufficient time to review the incident. d. Details of the reason for expulsion will be posted on the Members’ Forum ([https://forum.protospace.ca/ Spacebar]) without identifying details. e. A 75% majority vote is required to reinstate the member. f. An expelled or suspended member is not entitled to a refund of their membership fees.
#The Directors may expel or suspend anyone who violates the Code of Conduct from the premises, online systems, or at sponsored events.
#Safety is paramount and Members are expected to act in a safe manner. a. If you are unsure of how to safely do something, don’t do it. b. Everyone is expected to wear or set up PPE appropriate to the task they are performing (eye protection, face shielding, ear protection, gloves, welding screens, etc.) c. If you are asked to don appropriate PPE, a belligerent response is not appropriate and may result in revocation of tool privileges. d. Immediately report injuries, broken tools, or tools whose safety mechanisms are nonoperational to the Directors at [[Mailto:directors@protospace.org|directors@protospace.org]] e. No person shall deliberately defeat a physical safety or security mechanism. f. No person shall be permitted to operate a tool without the proper training or certification from an authorized trainer. g. No person shall deliberately ignore or violate an approved safety rule or policy. h. Members who repeatedly violate safety rules may have their tool privileges revoked or their membership terminated without reimbursement. i. No person shall deliberately hack, tamper with, or attempt unauthorized access to production computers or Web sites used for membership records, finance, equipment control, or facility operations.
##The member being suspended, and the other Directors must be informed in writing as soon as possible.
#Don’t merely respect each other; be excellent to each other. a. We are all here to make things and learn. Collaboration is important. b. When you break something, own up to it. If you have any doubt about fixing it, ask for help. Don’t make someone feel bad for breaking things, help them understand what went wrong. c. Clean, Maintain, Organize, Improve. Always leave the space better than you found it. d. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Answer them kindly; eventually you’ll have to ask for help too. e. Tools/resources must stay on the premises so that other members may use them. Removing tools/resources from the space without a successful pitch is theft.
