1. INTRODUCTION
Here at Team 5401 we know that safety is no accident. We understand
that there is no way to make every moment risk free, but through proper
safety education and training we do our best to make sure that everyone
is as safe as possible. This creates a culture of safety that focuses on a
three-pronged approach: The documentation of safety procedures,
making sure that everyone, coaches and students, are trained in these
safety procedures and verifying that these safety procedures are being
followed. Additionally, we reference professional guidelines from
organizations like OSHA and we have sought out guidance from other
teams who have been noted for their excellence in team safety. We have
also made sure that all students are protected through the use of proper
personal protection equipment like the gloves and safety glasses that
were provided to us by our safety sponsor Magid Glove & Safety. All of this
helps us establish our culture of safety, because here at Team 5401 “We
give a HOOT about SAFETY!”

3. TEAM SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 Coaches
Provide high-level safety leadership and training to the entire team.
Help instruct students to do operations in a safe manner.
3.2 Safety Committee
The committee ensures the team understands and applies FIRSTS’
safety rules as well as safety rules set by the team. The committee
has the authority to make recommendations for corrective actions
in the event that a student shows repeated or intentional unsafe
behavior. The committee makes decisions with help from student
leadership and mentor leadership to further ensure a safe working
environment for members of Team 5401 and students of Bensalem
High School.
3.3 General Team
Every team member is responsible and accountable for his/her own
safety, as well as the safety of those around them. Safety Rule #6, “If
you see something, say something!” is especially applicable here.
5
4. Emergency Procedures
4.1 Fire Emergency
During the course of the season, anything can happen from winter
weather, shop accidents, and especially fires. Team 5401 is
prepared for any hazard that may happen. Referencing our safety
binder on page seven, there is a map that shows all of the closest
emergency exits in a certain vicinity as well as a secondary exit if
the primary exit is compromised. If any student needs to know
where the closest exit is, they can look on the next page or ask the
Lead Safety Engineer. Competition venues’ maps will be pasted on
the next page additionally. On the map listed, our meeting
location is marked so in the event of an accident, the meeting
place is known.
4.2 Medical Info
In the event a team member has a medical emergency or
condition, whether that be a student or mentor, Kevin McKay and
Ellen Garfield have access to a thumb drive. This thumb drive
contains prior medical conditions of everyone. In the event a team
member is in need of assistance, Kevin or Ellen shall get the relevant
information. This is in the event that a Parent or Legal Guardian is
not around and able to let the medical professionals know.
“McAfee Endpoint Encryption” protects all this data and only Kevin
and Ellen have access to this data.

5. Team 5401 Safety Rules
1. Everyone must wear safety glasses in the shop and pit. You must wear
safety glasses in these areas even if you are not working. Each returning
team member has their own set of safety gloves and glasses to be used
for this purpose so there is no excuse.
2. Always have a partner with you when working in the shop or pit and
always make sure there is at least one Coach nearby in the shop, pit or
CAD Lab.
3. Make sure you are in the proper frame of mind to be working in the shop
or pit. If you are tired, sick or otherwise unwell use best judgment on
whether or not you should be working in the shop or pit. When in doubt,
just stay home.
4. You should only be in the shop if you are working on or observing a task
that requires equipment If you are observing, no fiddling!
5. There is zero tolerance for fiddling and unsafe behavior! Fiddling in the
shop or pit can be very dangerous and is grounds for immediate dismissal
from the shop or pit.
6. If you see something, say something. If you notice another student fiddling
or engaging in unsafe behavior in the shop or pit, report it to a Coach or
Captain immediately.
7. Make sure you are properly equipped to be in the shop. That means NO
long sleeves, hoodies, jewelry, open toed shoes, and long hair must be
pulled back.
8. Be aware of your surroundings. Know where the fire exits, fire extinguishers,
first aid kit, eyewash station, and SDS's are located.
9. Make sure you are properly trained on the tool or piece of equipment you
are/will be using in the shop. Refer to the Safety Manual for the list of
equipment trainers if you need to be trained on a piece of equipment
before using it.
10. Violations of these rules will not be tolerated and a Coach or Captain will
take appropriate action based on the severity of the offense. Actions may
include verbal warning, written warning, suspension or expulsion.
Each student is required to read and sign off on these rules at the start of every
season. Signed copies of these rules are kept on file in this manual for reference.

6. Shop Safety
6.1 Shop Safety Procedures
Before working in the shop, students should be properly trained on the
piece(s) of equipment they plan to use. They should know the hazards
associated with the different types of tools in the shop and know the
necessary safety precautions that must be taken.
Basic safety rules can help prevent hazards associated with the use of
shop equipment:
1. Keep all tools in good condition with regular maintenance.
2. Use the right tool for the job.
3. Examine each tool for damage before use and do not use damaged
tools.
4. Operate tools according to the manufacturer's’ instructions.
5. Provide and use properly the right PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
6. If you do not know, ASK!
Team members, Coaches, and volunteers should work together to

establish a safe working environment in the shop and further our team’s
commitment to creating a culture of safety.
If an unsafe situation is encountered, refer to Rule #6- If you see

something, say something! Any unsafe shop conditions should be reported
to a Coach or Captain immediately so corrective action can be taken
and it can be documented in the team’s Safety Log. For unsafe
conditions beyond the team’s control, work with the teams’ Faculty
Mentor.

something, say something! Any unsafe shop conditions should be reported
to a Coach or Captain immediately so corrective action can be taken
and it can be documented in the team’s Safety Log. For unsafe
conditions beyond the team’s control, have a team member or coach

8. Basic First Aid
8.1 Scrapes
Use a clean towel or cloth to clean the scrape
If you have access to water, clean out wound
Rinse with antiseptic fluid
Bandage if necessary
8.2 Minor Cuts
Clean wound
Put Neosporin or antiseptic fluid on cut
Bandage if necessary
8.3 Bruises
Apply cold pack to affected area
8.4 Foreign Body in the Eye
If there is an object in the eye, have someone flush with sterile saline
or emergency eyewash while person keeps eyes open. Keep eye
closed after rinsing. If foreign object remains in eye after treatment,
seek medical attention.
DO NOT RUB EYES. This can cause damage. Keep eye closed when
not rinsing, as the eye will naturally try to get rid of whatever is in it.
8.5 Splinters
Wash hands- provide good lighting; another team member will
have to use tweezers to grab as close to the skin and lift to remove
splinter.
If the splinter head is poking out of breached region, grab ahold of
the top
If the splinter top breaks off, use a warm compress to draw it out of
the skin before trying again with tweezers
8.6 Serious Injuries Procedure
Designate someone to stay with the injured person
Instruct another person to call 911 or find an on-site paramedic
Let the medical professionals take over and do their job
ALL injuries regardless of their severity MUST BE DOCUMENTED on an Injury

Report Form.
