Field Work

ETA personnel who perform hands-on research work at off-site or outdoor locations might encounter hazards that are different from a lab area. Some hazards might include working at heights, electrical hazards, and temperature extremes. Here are some of the field worker responsibilities:

• Complete and follow the requirements listed in your Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).
• Complete all assigned safety training.
• Submit an "Field Work Hazard Assessment Form" for any new fieldwork projects.
• Promptly report unsafe conditions to your work lead or supervisor.
• Report all injuries immediately to your supervisor.
• Conduct work in a manner that complies with LBNL environmental, safety and health procedures.
• Wear personal protective equipment when required.
• Off-site workers performing work at another national laboratory or institution will comply with the policies and procedures of that institution.
