__**4.15.01**__\\

The SHC shall maintain a supply of tools to be available for use by House Maintenance Officers in performance of their House and corporate duties. These shall be tools that are too expensive for an individual House to afford or would be used so infrequently by one House that it is more practical to have SHC purchase, store, and maintain them for the specific use by any and all Houses.

__**4.15.04**__\\

SHC tools and supplies may be checked out by any member by signing them out on the SHC Tool Library Checkout List and signing the SHC Tool Library User Agreement that are located at the SHC office. Members who will be using the tools can contact the Maintenance Vice President or Maintenance Coordinator for instruction on proper use and safety of the equipment, but the Maintenance Vice President or Maintenance Coordinator will at all times act solely for the benefit of SHC. The Maintenance Vice President shall be responsible for maintaining a checkout list and ensuring the tools return.

  - **a.** Included in the SHC Tool Library Checkout List will be a list of tools deemed especially expensive and/or dangerous. The member must speak directly with either the Maintenance Vice President or Maintenance Coordinator and obtain written consent in order to check out these items. 

  - **b.** The SHC Tool Library key must be returned to the office the same day. Failure to return the key by the end of the business day will result in a $10 fine each day the key is not returned. If key is lost, the member shall pay $30 for lost key.

  - **c.** The period for checking out each tool is 2 weeks. Failure to return the tool by the end of the two-week period will result in a $5 fine each day the tool is not returned. In some cases the need for tool usage may exceed a period of two weeks. If this is a possibility, then the case will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with the member and the Executive Vice President, the Maintenance Vice President, or Maintenance Coordinator. 

  - **d.** The Maintenance Vice President and Maintenance Coordinator will assess any damages or loss to the inventory. A member may be held fiscally responsible for the negligent or unsafe use of tools. The SHC will not be held liable for any damages incurred through the use of SHC tools, as stated in the SHC Tool Library User Agreement.
