Same here at 3946. In addition to the safety captain, we have a safety officer in each department (programming, controls, drive, manipulators). The captain is usually a sophomore or junior whom we're grooming to lead a department. Most of the safety officers are selected from the least safe team members. We also purchased some safety orange bandanas from Hobby Lobby, and the safety officers toss them sort of like NFL penalty flags when they observe an unsafe activity taking place (or increasingly, about to take place). It's worked well this year, and in all but one case in our short four year history.

Yeah, I did that, too -- at the house when I was about three years old. (Dad was an electronics technician/engineer and ham extra class operator.) The smoke stain persisted for about twelve or fifteen years (mostly behind a stereo system) as a reminder before finally being painted over. If FRC had been around in the late '70's, I would have assigned my high school self to safety as well. Undergrad lab courses and a few trips to sea were my biggest safety instruction.
