Re: Rookie safety question

Our safety team typically keeps these things in the pits.
1. baking soda
2. MSDS sheets
3. fire extinguisher
4. first aid kit
5. brooms
6. trash cans

I would like to note that what teams carry with them is not everything to team safety. We also keep the pit organized and teach our own team member about pit safety. Along with that we have safety goodies to reinforce the message.

1. safety booklets: these are just 12 page books that illustrate different dangerous situations and how to rectify them.
2. safety buttons: everyone wants buttons! Make special buttons that people can only obtain if they can demonstrate pit safety or answer a question about safety.
3. signs: we also make signs that point out different things, i.e. team lift your robot.

From the Greater Kansas City Regional we were told that we should provide documentation on the safety programs we do with people.
