Safety culture in digital fabrication:professional, social, and environmental responsibilities

Abstract This paper addresses the safety culture as a concept in the context of digital fabrication. The aim of the paper is to provide a basis for the understanding and adoption of safety culture in digital fabrication, makerspaces and fab labs. The paper outlines the concept of safety culture in digital fabrication through three dimensions of safety culture: professional, social, and environmental responsibilities. We propose that these dimensions can act as motivators in adopting a correct safety behavior in the context of digital fabrication education
