My team was the Chesapeake safety award winner.
Basic points.
- Aways wear safety glasses in the pits. ALWAYS
- Never be afraid to loan safety glasses.
- Never ever think about letting someone in the pits not have their safety glasses on their eyes, your team or not.
- Have tools that are most used on the robot out on table in an organized fashion.
- Have a first aid kit handy.
- Have ear protection and gloves handy.
- Lift heavy objects like robot with legs not back.
- Whenever operating robot make sure everyone is clear from the are that the robot is able to move in.
- When operating robot, make sure it is properly supported ie: testing drive train.
Don't preach safety around judges and then forget about it when they leave, BE SAFE FOR REAL
Safety is an all the time occurrence not just a thing you show off for an award.
Just some things to keep in mind
