I'm James,
I have been the safety captain for team 955 since my sophomore year. I was unceremoniously launched into the position without any of the documents from the previous year as well as unhelpful previous safety captain. I adapted to the position without any real assistance. I struggled to get on my feet the first year but managed to snag the runner-up that year. The next year I performed a study of sound levels in our school's shop with some local professionals. Everything came together perfectly that year and we won the safety award.
I strongly disapprove of the notion of passing out papers to other teams. I feel they are a pain and don't do anything to help other teams. If you really want to help others, remain alert to what is going on around your pit and have helpful team members. If your team helps you with safety, you are more likely to win the safety award. Teamwork is the key to everything in a robotics team.
