A discussion which has started on the SpaceFederation site is about safety in your space. Since we've looked at our site through the eyes of the Fire Marshal for the BOOM event, we might also want to look at it through the eyes of an Health & Safety inspector...

From James:
In order to further the discussion about safety-making, please take a look at this FIRST Robotics safety manual and consider how your space corresponds to it. Check your space:

1) is safety a core component of your culture? Would someone stop you from using a tool without safety glasses?
2) are new members given an explicit safety orientation?
3) are dangerous zones and safer zones of the space clearly delineated?
4) what would happen to a child between the age of 8-11 within the first ten minutes of being left unattended in your space?

Does anyone else have suggestions for examples of safety guidelines we can look at and use as a template?
