If you find any PPE is missing or damaged please contact [The Welding Team](https://list.hacman.org.uk/g/Team_Welding) asap via [Telegram](https://t.me/HACManchester/211848).

Due to the nature of welding it is common to find members using the equipment that requires PPE.
As such we recommend that all members within woodwork wear the appropriate PPE whenever equipment is being used.
