Re: Safety in the workshop

There's a lot in the FIRST safety manual , but here are some basics our team has agreed to follow:
-Always wear safety glasses in the shop.
-Use tools properly (no using a wrench as a hammer, etc) and remind others to do so if they aren't. It isn't about being mean, it's about being safe and not getting hurt.

As for safety glasses, I can get back to you about what our team uses on the 2nd, the next time 3081 has the shop and I can see what kind they are.

On our team, everyone gets their own pair and anyone who loses theirs has to pay $5. We personalize our own safety glasses (but not so they obstruct vision). For example, I have my last name and our team number on the sides and a piece of yellow Velcro on the bridge in the front. I'm not the only one to use Velcro on my safety glasses, and many team members used stickers and markers.

Also, our safety captain conducted a presentation with a safety test with some basic rules. He's not on CD, so I'll see if I can get a copy from him and PM you with the Google Drive link. We also have to have documentation of each team member seeing the presentation before he or she can be in the shop.

I'd be happy to see if I can get you in contact with our safety captain if you'd like. If you have any other questions, let me know.
