# Safety Briefing & Test

### Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

All students are required to participate in the safety briefing and pass the test, which will be administrated by the lab instructors.

Although the safety test won’t directly contribute to your final grading, but failing to pass the safety test will not allow you to participate any lab projects at all 🙁

So join us in the [briefing](https://x.ancorasir.com/me303-311/2020-autumn/weekly-teaching/syllabus#week-02-safety-and-roles), read the following safety instructions, and pass the test.

### General Instructions <a href="#general-instructions" id="general-instructions"></a>

Adapted from Source: <http://web.mit.edu/2.009/www/teammanual/safety.html>

Working safely is paramount. Along with lab instructors and shop staff, your team safety officers will be watching for dangerous situations. Always remember that product parts can easily be replaced while body parts can’t! Also, be sure to follow the mainDL safety rules and policies.

Each tool and floor machine in the lab has its own set of safety rules. A list of some important general guidelines is provided below.

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| • | **Safety glasses must be worn at all times** in the mainDL lab. We will provide teams with glasses during the week of September 28. Any students or staff not wearing safety glasses will be asked to leave the lab. |
| • | Don’t rush when using machinery. Think ahead, and plan an escape path before starting to cut.                                                                                                                        |
| • | When using a machine, give it your absolute undivided attention. If you are too tired do it later, or find someone else to do it for you.                                                                            |
| • | When in doubt, nervous, or unfamiliar, wait until you can have a lab or shop instructor help you.                                                                                                                    |
| • | Keep your work area clean and uncluttered.                                                                                                                                                                           |
| • | Don’t stand in a path where parts may be projected. Remember that bystanders may be at risk too.                                                                                                                     |
| • | When machining, don’t let your hands be enveloped by the work piece. If something grabs you should be able to let go. Use proper clamps and fixtures where appropriate.                                              |
| • | Do not work in an off-balance position.                                                                                                                                                                              |
| • | Remove all rings, watches, jewelry, and loose clothing before working with machinery. Either pinup long hair or tie it back and tuck it into your shirt.                                                             |
| • | **Do not wear open toe shoes or sandals in the lab**. Any students or staff wearing open toe shoes will be asked to leave the lab.                                                                                   |
| • | Do not run or yell in the shop.                                                                                                                                                                                      |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://x.ancorasir.com/me303-311/2020-autumn/teams-and-resources/safety-briefing-and-test.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
