Field Safety

Working in the field presents risks to participants. While the nature of these risks varies depending on the type of work and location, it is important to be familiar with relevant health and safety procedures and training requirements before going to the field.

The Earth Sciences Field Trip SOP provides health and safety procedures and guidelines to be followed in the field.

Off-Campus Safety includes helpful resources from the Environmental Health and Safety Office. This includes:

For research field work activities: If you require a departmental/UofT 24/7 emergency contact person for field research expeditions, you must make arrangements with your research supervisor or PI to act as the 24/7 emergency contact person. If your supervisor is unavailable to be designated as a 24/7 emergency contact person, your supervisor will help you confirm an alterative departmental/UofT 24/7 emergency contact person.
