Field Safety Planning

Before heading into the field, instructors should establish a comprehensive Field Safety and Emergency Management Plan covering risk assessments, emergency procedures, safety gear, and training protocols. To simplify this process, VCU Occupational Health and Safety provide a complete Field Safety Guide and a Field Safety and Emergency Management Plan Template. 

Please review and complete these documents prior to your trip. For full details and downloads, visit the VCU Occupational Health and Safety Field Safety Page.
