Re: Safety Forum
I'm the safety captain for team 1987, The Broncobots. Whenever safety judges come by our pit at competitions, they are always impressed with our nametags. Our team always lists medical info of each student on the back of the card in case of emergency. Along with contact info for each of the coaches, as well as for the hotel we're staying at. We also make a color code for pit access- it allows us to limit the number of necessary people in the pit. Black dots can stay, red dots have to stay in the stands or be scouting.
Our team also requires each member to take and pass a written safety test before using any of the machinery. Which obviously we require safety glasses for. The larger machinery (mill & lathe) requires additional training by a certified mentor.
With the cold weather, also mind drawstrings from hoodies. They can get caught in the machines.
Hope this was helpful!
