Re: Safety

What's the first (and safest) place I put any safety flyers given to me at competition? In a trash can.

They are annoying and do nothing to contribute to safety. In fact, the way I've seen them posted, laying around, or on the floor, they're ironically more often a safety hazard.

Safety is not about promotion, it's about knowledge, preparation, and understanding.

At Long Beach, we were awarded the #1 Pit Area Safety Recognition simply because we limited the number of people in our pit area, kept it very clean (no clutter, no trash, all tools put away when not in use), did not work on the floor, and did not have any large power tools in the pit area. No flyers, no posters.
