Re: Safety Award: What would you like to see?

We have won the UL Safety award the last three years and it is because of Gracie Fowler (student).
She implemented a system that required each student to be trained on ALL powered tools before they would be allowed to use said tool by themselves. Each student would carry a card showing what tools they were trained on.
Heaven forbid if you had an accident. She would investigte the accident and write up a report on what happened and how we will try to keep it from happening again.
We don't have robot escorts or pass out flyers. We do keep our pits cleaned. We have safeties made for any potentially hazardous moving part of our robot. Also, our robot cart's wheels are chocked anytime it is not moving.
So those that say they just give out the safety award for no reason, talk to Gracie.
