Laboratory work and risk analysis

Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include significant amounts of mechanical work as well as of electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:

• Use of soldering iron. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
• Use of high-voltage circuits. Special gloves and a current limiter will be used.
• Robot testing. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
• Use of a modified (human-guided) golf cart. We will use the cart only in open-air environments.
