Safety: the condition of being protected from or
unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury.
What is Safety?

To protect ourselves from danger
To protect others from endangering themselves
To understand the difference between something
dangerous and something that is not
Why is safety important?

Instilling a culture of safety is a value that every individual
in the FIRST® community must embrace as we pursue
the mission and vision of FIRST. FIRST Robotics
Competition has adopted safety as a core value and
has established the framework for safety leadership in
all aspects of the program.
What FIRST Requires for Safety

Don’t plug batteries into each other
Hold batteries with TWO hands
Batteries are like babies. They are
fragile, they are very expensive, and
they make a mess if you drop them
We use a battery beacon to test how
charged the batteries are
If you do drop a battery, notify a
mentor right away even if it does not
crack open. DO NOT plug a
dropped battery back into a charger
