Re: Safety Ideas
My list (there is more, but I only have so long to write)
1. Safety Glasses
2. BE A ROLE MODEL (others will learn best not by pamphlets or posters [yes they still have a place] but by observing a consistently safe team)
3. Ear protection (many times overlooked, but it can get loud in the pits)
4. Hard Hats (or some sort of head protection, especially when working under a robot)
5. Gloves
6. Proper Shoes
7. No dangling clothing and Tie back hair
8. Practice Proper lifts (general rule, try to have a minimum 3 per lift, as always with your knees, and try to incorporate handles into your robot design)
9. Provide positive criticism/help (try to also bring the positive safety aspects out of the team when addressing that which they could work on, this increases the chances they will listen and learn more as it is then not all negative. if they do an improper lift, don't have safety glasses, or ear plugs, Gracious Professionalism pretty much says, if they don't have enough people for a proper lift, offer your help, if they don't have ear plugs when its noisy offer some)
10. Presence of Mind
I realize there are many more, and that was just a short list... there are spills and leaks, exit plans, and many many more. Great Work guys with the topic.
Stay Safe
David
