If you observe any violation of safety rules that is happening or about to happen, you MUST take immediate action to prevent it and inform the workshop supervisor.

Non compliance with the above mentioned instructions will be taken very seriously and will lead to imposing a fine along with automatic failure in the course being taken by the student by debarring the student from using workshop for the rest of the semester. The minimum fine for first offense is Rs 100 and will be determined by the workshop supervisor and committee. Under all conditions the decision of the workshop supervisor and committee will be final and binding.

In case any tools are found missing a fine consisting of the tool's replacement price plus 10% extra

charge on the price of the tool will be imposed on the concerned students.

Note: All workshop rules also apply to the spaces outside the workshop room, where students often work on projects when the workshop is too crowded.
