Each semester, Mel Baldino (melbaldino@berkeley.edu), hosts three workshops focused towards graduate student field safety (but all are welcome!).
General Field Safety: UC expectations for anyone conducting fieldwork, basic considerations to take in planning for a safe field season, and experience filling out a field safety plan
Crew Management: how to safely prepare yourself and your field technicians for fieldwork, how to advertise risks and work appropriately, and how to be a safe manager in potentially risky situations
Identity Based Risks: reflections on personal identities and how we can ensure our work is safe for us, our students or techncians, and community members by considering how our identities may make work safer or more risky
If you are interested in joining for any of these workshops, RSVP here!
In the past, we have offered workshops such as Safety I vs Safety II and Field Futures SHSV. If there is a specific workshop you would like us to offer in the future, please submit your request through this form or email Mel Baldino (melbaldino@berkeley.edu).
