Re: safety ideas
You should actually modify this to be wear gloves, unless using any power tool or machine. Wearing gloves while doing either is incredibly dangerous.

Re: safety ideas
Add: Make sure everyone is well clear of the robot, the wheels/treads/feet/snakes/whatever traction device are off the ground, and someone has their finger on the disable switch when you turn on the robot after loading new code.

A safety presentation is on that site- "Safety FIRST" by Kirksey, Marshall We had to make presentations to all sub-groups and then each team member had to complete and hand in a safety test based on the knowledge gained from the slideshow. |

Re: safety ideas
The most important one of all: SAFETY GLASSES at all times.
Make sure that everyone knows never to obstruct access to the (big) red buttons on machines. Those tend to be the emergency off buttons. Take chuck keys out of chucks, period. You don't want a chuck key flying across the room--sweep bar dials are bad enough. Keep your tools in good condition. Sharp tools work better than dull ones and have less of a tendency to slip. Files and saws with broken teeth don't work as well as ones without. For that matter, tools in good condition tend to make cleaner cuts and require less filing than tools in bad condition. Steel toes are not necessary, but if someone has them, great. Some good solid leather-type shoes will probably suffice. I sometimes wear hiking boots--those are plenty sturdy for a FIRST competition build. Canvas shoes might not be such a good idea |

Re: safety ideas
Does anyone think that you should always have some sort of machining buddy or supervision? Just curious.

Re: safety ideas
Absolutely. The cardinal rule when working with machinery is never EVER work alone.

Re: safety ideas
YIKES and running shoes (which i normally wear since i have old ones from cross country that are too used to run in comfortably) with those mesh tops are horrible. I would suggest getting some type of shoe with a stiff toe (steel or hard rubber) like found in hiking boots

I normally wear solid-toed cross-trainers, and have never had a problem. Hiking boots are kind of the exception for me--either long standing around or lots of risk of getting something dropped onto my foot. |
