 ==== Reasonable Level of Risk ====
-We will take steps to avoid unnecessary risk and very high levels of risk. However, activities typical to a Makerspace inherently involve some risk. Learning about and employing risk management is a necessary part of “making”. We therefore aim to protect our members from unnecessary and very high risk levels and provide guidance and support to help members manage risk for themselves.
