While a bottomliner is the responsible person for running the space while he/she opens it, a keyholder never is under the obligation to open it. If a keyholder is working with tools that require presence in the immediate vicinity, the keyholder cannot be considered to be a bottomliner. A good example is a tool like the laser cutter, or otherwise being involved with equipment that requires unobstructed attention, such as working in the workshop. | While a bottomliner is the responsible person for running the space while he/she opens it, a keyholder never is under the obligation to open it.

No. VHS does not expect you to watch everything, all the time. This would be impossible. However, as a member, bottomliner or not, you //do// need to let people know if they are doing something unsafe (or let the the BoD if they continue to do it). | No. VHS does not expect you to watch everything, all the time.
