Safety

[big1boom]

My team won the safety award at Midwest last year, we did not hand out a single flyer or put up a single poster. We focused on pit safety and made sure that everyone affiliated with our team knew how to be safe.

Some of our main points were
>MSDS sheets
>Tool-tags that had basic safety information attached to each tool's power cord
>Clean pit/functionally organized pit
>Well versed safety captain
>Not just yelling robot, but actually having a few team members leading the bot asking people to move
>Baking soda (battery spill kit)
>Fire extinguisher
>First Aid kits
>Team safety statistics
>Other things that I have probably forgotten

Remember, safety is a year long activity, not just during competition.
