Hazards to Pets

Protohaven is an active workshop that presents multiple hazards to animals, including:

• Prolonged loud noises that damage sensitive hearing
• Exposure to solvents and other chemicals through ingestion or inhalation
• Sharp, hot, and other harmful debris and particulate matter on the floor which can quickly end up in an animal’s mouth
• Sudden movement by members and materials which can stress or startle animals

Hazards to Members

Animals in the shop present an avoidable hazard to other members, as unpredictable behavior and loud noises presents a distraction from the dangers of using our equipment.

Pet Policy

We require members bringing pets to follow these rules:

• Pets may only be brought to the outdoor areas of Protohaven; bringing your pet indoors is prohibited.
• Pets must be accompanied and leashed at all times; you may not leave your pet unattended outside to work on projects indoors.
• The pet must be cleaned up after, and waste disposed in the dumpster outside.

Note: If you require a service animal, please contact hello@protohaven.org so we can understand your needs and make accommodations.
