Volunteer Safety Guidelines
As a volunteer, your safety is our priority. Please review and follow these safety guidelines:
- If asked to perform a task you believe is unsafe, it’s okay to say, “No.”
- Do not use equipment without first being trained on its proper use.
- When operating electric or gas-powered tools, use eye, and ear personal protection equipment.
- Carry tools safely!
- If working in a group, let your supervisor/leader know of any health or emergency needs you may have, such as allergic reactions to insect bites or plants.
- Avoid overexertion. Take a rest break when needed and drink plenty of water.
- Use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect against the sun.
- Wear clothing that is appropriate to the task, such as long sleeves and pants when pulling weeds to avoid thorns or poison ivy. Wear closed-toe shoes, not sandals or flip-flops.
- Be careful where you step, as some park properties may have slopes, slippery footing, or holes.
- Use proper posture when lifting heavy objects by bending at the knees, not at the waist.
- Do not overfill litter bags.
- Do not pick up hazardous items (animal carcasses, needles, condoms). Report the location of such objects to a Parks employee.
Thank you for your volunteer efforts to enhance our parks and trails!
