Robo-Natick Safety Policy
The kits and computers we are using cannot be easily replaced as they are expensive. We want to make sure that as many students as possible enjoy working with the equipment, so lets pay attention to a few things:
If a student is unsure of tool usage, they should contact one of their leaders or the supervisor. Parts may not be cut, bent or modified without consent.
All cuts will be safely planned and conducted with proper tools (do not Dremel everything).
Equipment and Computers are to be stored and locked appropriately each day
If a part is damaged, inform the instructor
Do not damage equipment because you are bored, there is always something productive to do
Students must trade in their laptop for the shop's laptop each use
Clean up is everyone's job
