Intrinsic Risk: As always, working in the field or with fire holds intrinsic risk. Participants will be required to sign a volunteer liability waiver when they arrive, or better yet, sign it online before you arrive. This agreement states that you will hold Tuolumne PBA, its volunteers, and the landowner harmless in the event of an injury. The liability form can be found and signed here. Our number one priority is safety and before beginning the day, there will be a safety briefing to ensure that everybody on site is aware of hazards and understands how to reduce their risk of injury.
