In signing this test, I acknowledge that I have carefully read and fully understand the general safety rules and operational policies of the School of Engineering’s fabrication & prototyping areas, and I will comply with them.  I also realize that other, undefined hazards will exist in the fabrication & prototyping area and therefore, my safety, and that of others, is ultimately my own responsibility.
