proper protection

any Team Captain, Mentor, Coach, or any
team member who tries to correct unsafe
conditions or practices
Job Specific Safety Notes
Lifting
Lift carefully (with the knees, keeping your
head up)
Know where you're going with the robot
Wear gloves
Beware of sharp edges
When the robot is on the table, make sure that it
is secured and won't fall over or off the table
Working Around the Robot
Watch out for stored energy
Electrical – make sure the robot is powered off
before you start working on physical electrical
connections
Pneumatics – make sure to release all
compressed air after each match and make sure
its all gone before you start messing with the
tubing
Mechanical – make sure that all springs are
relaxed and there is no chance of them
randomly releasing and potentially harming
someone
Working Around the Robot Cont.
Batteries contain stored energy in the form of dangerous chemicals
– they contain sulfuric acid that can burn you
– they can rapidly heat and explode
Do NOT use a damaged or leaking battery
If a leak occurs, from the battery spill kit:
– Pour baking soda on spill
– Use gloves to put battery in the bucket
– Notify a mentor and seek medical attention as needed
– Use disposable scoop to transfer baking soda residue into
the bucket
– Properly dispose of battery and baking soda residue
