I'm not 100% sure I could make one by myself and still manage to cover all the topics!
Thank you!

Sure thing! Right now I am in the process of creating a safety database website for teams but I don't have those online yet. I have given them to other users on Chief Delphi though. Send me a PM with your email (or a temporary/team email, up to you) and I can send you the whole package

Don't talk to someone who is operating a machine. Wait until they finish and power down.

As a Safety Advisor for 5+ years I have looked at many programs. All of the teams that have won Safety at west coast regionals have good programs and will send you theirs. So will my team 192. Look at several different ones and you will find things to make a safety program that you want. A safety program can be from a simple shop safety to a program the would work for a factory and pass OSHA. Different teams have different needs you need to fined what will fit your team. Ours gets check out by risk management lawyers almost every year and we have to satisfy them or we do not operate.
