Pit Safety

As district competition Week 4 comes to an end and Week 5-7 begins, make sure to ALWAYS follow the safety parameters for putting up and taking down your pit. Here's what it says from the FIRST 2019 Safety Manual:

Setting Up the Team Pit Station
• Bring and use work gloves for uncrating and re-crating, if a crate is in use.
• Design and set up your pit station safely and use proper tools to construct any components (displays, shelves, banners, etc.)
• Use ladders; don’t climb on items not meant for the task, such as tables and chairs.
• Observe the ten-foot height limit for all portions of your pit station, including banners.
 • Small, bench-top band saws and drill presses, with appropriate guards, are allowed in team pit station.

Please ensure the safety of yourself, along with others around you :)
