Field Work

- 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.
