Please see email message below from Keith Sheppard regarding tomorrow’s Expo Event.

Thank you.

Please as advisors (and also pass this on to the students) review the safety of the senior design project displays under your oversight before the exhibition and ensure that potential hazards are identified and controlled. Some common areas of concern are the following:

Lithium-ion batteries: Carefully review the battery manufacturers guidelines for the safe use and storage of lithium batteries. If overheated or overcharged, Li-ion batteries may cause cell rupture and combustion

Chemicals and Pressurized containers: The use of chemicals (i.e. acids, caustics, volatile organics, etc.) and pressurized containers (gas cylinders, pressure vessels, etc.) are prohibited in the exhibition area

Mechanical Hazards: All moving parts that could create a hazard must be guarded from accidental exposure &n bsp;&nb sp;

Electrical Hazards: All wiring must be secured and guarded form potential exposure. Cords and plugs should be checked for damage and

replaced if frayed or damaged

Walkways and Exits: Please keep walkways and exit doors clear of obstructions

Tripping Hazards: Ensure that your exhibition does not create a tripping hazard for visitors or participants. Ensure that cords and wires are arranged in a way that does not present a tripping hazard

These are common safety concerns and may not address specific concerns related to your project, it is important that you review the safety of your project before the exhibition.
