Field Safety Consultation Documents

Students, Volunteers, Graduate Students, Faculty and Post-docs who engage in field work in a natural setting require support and resources to be adequately trained to perform their work safely.  A separate stream for field personnel has been developed on the Health and Safety Training site on D2L.  Please see the training page for further information on accessing the training site.
