Re: Permission (or no permission) to use Power Tools
Power tools don't hurt people. Poorly instructed people hurt themselves, using power tools.

Have formal training sessions, write up a good safety test, make everyone get 100% on the test, and make sure a mentor is present when using the tools.

The school is being silly with this policy. What do they expect when the kids get to college? At college, I can run lathes, CNC mills, roller benders, torches, plasma cutters, welders, and forklifts, all unsupervised.
