Re: How Can I Avoid Student Mistakes
There are five key elements: - Training, including regular refreshers and safety stand downs after close calls
- Supervision, really close for the first few hours, backing off slowly
- Verification, first by another student and again by a mentor
- Mitigation, including safety glasses, fire extinguishers, and spill kits
- Prayer, left as an exercise
