The Robotics Workshop environment must be safe and the participants must work safely.  It is of the utmost importance and concern that each participant remain whole … NASA demands it and our families deserve it.  In this spirit of safety, Robotics Workshop participants will be directed and guided by NASA JSC Safety & Health Handbook, or “1700”, that can be found at https://jschandbook.jsc.nasa.gov/ .  For the workshop, the most relevant  part of 1700 is Part 8 - Safety and Health Practices for Manufacturing, Installation, Repair and Maintenance.  We will review 1700, concentrating on Part 8, upon the participants arrival on Monday and participants are also encouraged, but not required, to review Part 8.3, Shop Safety, before their arrival.

In preparation for the Robotics Workshop, participants should be prepared by bringing closed-toe shoes and long pants.  NASA will provide Personal Protective Equipment  (PPE) such as a safety glasses and hearing protection.

Concerning firearms, there are strict regulations for carrying firearms at NASA but we understand that law enforcement participants may have a need-to-carry.  In general, there are no restrictions to carry firearms by Sworn Law Enforcement Officers with Credentials.  If you are a Sworn Law Enforcement Officer with Credentials and will be carrying your firearm at NASA, please contact Ronald Lee  ([email protected]); Ronald will notify Protective Services that you will carry your firearm at NASA.
