This is a good post. Practicing caution and using common sense with tools, machines, robots and build will prevent many injuries. Safety captains are not just for competition, they should be that set of eyes and ears in the shop that helps the team stay in top form/on top of their game - keeping safety at the forefront.

Edit: I thought a little bit more - everyone is responsible for keeping the team in top shape and keeping safety a priority - both as individuals and as a team. Accidents can and do happen but can be kept at a minimum with the use of caution, common sense, and vigilance. Precaution helps safety glasses and captains do their job.
