Be Safe  Be Kind  Be Gracious  Be Safe

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

Safety at the School

Work in a safe and responsible manner. Use personal protective equipment (PPE), safeguards, and other safety equipment as required. Identify and report any unsafe or hazardous conditions to a Student Safety Captain, Mentor,
and/or Safety Advisor. This includes work practices that may cause an accident. Encourage safe behaviors in everyone around you.

Safety in the Pit Area and Competition Field

For those attending the FIRST Robotics Regionals and events it is important to remember some key safety requirements. It is required that attendants wear safety glasses at ALL times while in the pit area as well as when on the competition field. Glasses must be ANSI-approved, UL listed, or CSA rated non-shaded safety glasses.  Additionally, all children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult while in the pit area and closed-toe shoes must be worn. No open flames in the pit area and the 10 foot height limit will be enforced for all teams.
