507 Field Safety Leadership
Participants will acquire and practice strategies and tactics to prepare for and lead safe and effective field activities. The first day of this fully interactive course covers injuries and illnesses that occur commonly during field activities, why accidents occur (human factors analysis), a first-aid review, and the field safety process in normal operations and emergency response through scenario analysis, problem solving, and role play. Participants will also practice using field safety training materials and modules designed for field camp students and suitable for use in field methods classes. On the second day, participant teams will take turns leading a model field day at a site near Seattle, including briefings, driving, hiking, risk assessment, intervening for safety, safety equipment use, and emergency response drills. Participants will receive copies of the “Field Safety in Uncontrolled Environments” textbook, field-safety notebook, and training modules. (Although not required, previous participants have suggested that having wilderness first aid or equivalent training will enhance the course experience. This course is not intended to compete with any commercially available first aid training. The participants will not receive any level of first-aid certification [and it is not linked to the American Red Cross digital certification system]).
