The Safety and Tool Use Certification (STUC) acts as a general and Department-specific safety and policy refresher, and is an opportunity to introduce new shop tools, processes, etc. to Members.

Department STUCs are required for any CIADC Member wishing to use Open Studio Access (OSA) outside of an enrolled class Department:

• Student Members wishing to work in Department OSA other than their class Department require Department STUC(s)

A Department STUC is not required for current Student or Student Members of the Department.
