TRAINING

Types of tools

Tools at Quelab are ranked on a three-tier schedule for safety training. This is to protect both the tools and the users.

GREEN tools are hand-tools, and require taking our safety overview training and signing the waiver

YELLOW tools are small power-tools, and require an general area training

RED tools are specialist power tools, which can pose a danger to operators or bystanders, and require individual training
