Based on the current course of our prototype, the two activities that pose the greatest risks are taking pictures of the experiment with participants in them and machining different mechanical parts. We determined that the first is not something we needed to heavily consider within our safety matrix because it does not introduce the potential to be injured. The second does not introduce great risk since our team will not be the ones to operate the machinery in the shop and will always be supervised by Scott in the machine shop and follow the typical machine shop protocol, wearing closed toed shoes, long pants, and having our hair back.
