5 Point Safety 

1.  Wear your safety glasses at all times while working on

or around the robot.

2.  Remember to use caution when working with gears and other

moving parts on the robot.  Clothes or jewelry or even skin can

get caught in them and cause serious injury.

3.  Be aware of where first aid kits and fire extinguishers are

at all times.  Keep kits stocked full with supplies and check

to make sure fire extinguishers are in working condition at least once a month.

4.  Never leave tools or cords lying around for you or another team member

to trip over.

5.  Never try and lift the robot by yourself.  Back injuries are the most

common yet most easily avoidable injury.

Following these simple points can save you a lot of pain.  Play safe, stay safe!
