One of your responsibilities is to evaluate your team's activities with respect to safety and liability. Safety issues range from chemical exposure, to risks of a more mechanical nature. If you are doing anything that might have any safety risk, you need to do a safety assessment and meet with the safety person. Scott Zdankiewicz (safety@olin.edu) is the safety representative at Olin; he will be in touch with all teams about their projects. Please fill out this form prior to meeting with him.
Liability is related, though different. If you are doing anything where the college might worry about you or someone else getting hurt (e.g. everything from riding in someone else's car in the name of SCOPE to offering rides in an autonomous tractor), talk to Scott about whether we need to address the liability issues.
