10. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO START WITH? Website This site holds all of our current scheduling information, previous meeting minutes, and resources for all Safety Captains to benefit from. Outreach We promote community-wide safety through outreach with elementary schools, retirement homes, and in our attitudes toward other teams. Gracious Professionalism! Accident Reports These half sheets are to be filled out when someone injures themselves in the shop. They are mandatory, and will be kept on the goggles table during the season. Shop Safety Shop Safety is machine regulations, cleanliness, wearing goggles when the machines are on, closed toed shoes, gloves, tying back long hair... Safety Squad This individual subunit, dedicated specifically to safety is responsible for team safety and projecting a good image for the team on how to keep yourself and other people safe. Pit Safety This includes the battery spill kit, fire extinguisher, exit plans, and pit setup. Know where the AED is and know how to keep your team within regulations.

11. SHOP RULES AND LOCATIONS Goggles & Gloves Are required as machinery is used. Gloves are found in the safety drawer, goggles are found on the goggles table. They must be put back when people are through using them. Accident Reports Are kept on the goggles table. These reports help us keep track of injuries for our personal records and also tell us if someone needs to be recertified. Machine Certification People are not allowed to use the machines if they are not certified. I keep a log to check if people are or not. Send them to me and I will get them certified.

12. PIT SAFETY Battery Spill Kit This kit is kept in the shop during the season, but we take it with us to competitions. It contains a neutralizing powder, industrial paper towels, gloves, and chemical goggles. New Rules The pit comes with its own set of new safety rules. Goggles must be worn in the pit area at all times, and the area must be cleaned and powered off at the end of the day. There are also judges walking around inspecting our performance. They will ask questions about our program.
