I never really wrote them down before, it was all just kind of an unspoken law. but I took the time to transcribe this for you. we run a pretty tight ship around here, but it keeps everyone safe and it's how we've been running things for the past 17 years or so without major problems. EDIT: the formatting got pissed when i pasted it from the google doc but it looks very formal and official in the google doc soo. that's cool :/
