Terms and Conditions
The core idea behind the Hague Workshop is that all users are jointly responsible for the atmosphere, safety and progress. To manage this effectively, some rules have been drawn up for users:
Permission must be sought before using an individual machine. Each user should be familiar with the machine(s) and/or tools they intend to use, as well as the associated safety measures. Its function and presence must be checked before each use. If someone is not sufficiently familiar with its operation or use, they must first follow an instruction or course.
