Re: Safety FIRST

I am the safety captain for my team, which is a really easy position because all you have to do is always use your common sense. I insist on members having safety glasses on at all times while working on the robot or with tools, because I have had many accidents where I was either lucky or actually wearing them.
Sometimes I think that teams simply assign people randomly for safety captain, which is totally wrong. Safety captain should be the one most familiar with the proper use and handling of tools, so that they can recognize unsafe behavior. I like tools, I know how to use many different kinds of tools, but I don't like it when someone uses a tool in the wrong way.
