Drill the rule into everyone's heads that as soon as you're done using a machine for the meeting, to clean up everything about it. A good rule of thumb to know if it's clean enough is that you should not be able to tell what the last part being worked on was. If there are still aluminum chips or Lexan shavings around the machine/on the bit/etc., it fails the test.

Another rule to drill into their heads is that when you are done using a tool, you put it back in the proper place. And to ensure that they always clean up, make a rule that no one can leave the shop at the end of the meeting until everything is cleaned up.
Nothing can sink one's productivity (and safety) faster than a messy machine shop with missing tools and parts.
