Task · part of 1. Safety: hazards, gear, and first aid
1(a). The most likely hazards, and the gear that answers them
Required
Explain what you would do to anticipate, mitigate and prevent, and respond to them, which is four verbs and not one. Then describe the appropriate safety gear and clothing for working with robotics.
Notes and warnings
Note. Four verbs, not one: anticipate, mitigate and prevent, and respond. A hazard list on its own answers about a quarter of this. The gear question is separate again and covers clothing as well as equipment.
