SAFETY FIRST!
As a veteran team with more than 26 years under our belt, we strongly emphasize the importance of safety and safety protocols. Safety is Team 359’s number one priority and it should be yours too!
In preparation for each season, each member takes a safety test covering basic safety protocols throughout our different facilities, including travel and competition protocols. This annual test is mandatory for all students participating in the upcoming season. They must pass it to work in the facilities. In the past, students would be called in to take a written test and must score an 88% or higher. However, these past few years have been a little different. Students now take the test via google classroom with a google form. Previously to pass, they would have to score a 90% or higher. However, this year we have raised the passing grade to a complete 100%. Students who get anything below need to retake to participate in the season. Before retaking, students must review their past answers as a form of a study guide along with feedback from our team’s safety captain.
COVID-19 SAFETY
Our team has taken the opportunity to help out our community and our local front line workers. This includes lending our resources to other organizations and even creating our own special products.
Each season, it is important that our team is up to date on FIRST’s current safety protocols and practices. Each season, team members refer to the FIRST Safety Manual.
SAFETY TEST
At the start of each season, our team members are required to take and pass our team Safety Test with 100% accuracy. Test your safety skills by taking our team safety test!
