Maintenance should result in identifying potential hazards on a jobsite or in the lab, such as
- unstable or improperly erected scaffolding
- electrical hazards
- jobsite debris
- improperly stored materials
- air-quality hazards.
When hazards are present, measures should be taken to remedy them (e.g., robot shut-down procedures), in compliance with school and instructor guidelines.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are examples of jobsite hazards?
- Why is it important to adhere to safety standards on a jobsite?
- Why is it important to store materials and tools?
- Why is important to have procedures in place for robot work cell entry and emergency shut down?
