The crew leader strives to ensure the safety of the group, but you must do your part. Too many things can go wrong—and go wrong quickly—to ignore safety.

• We provide safety helmets to wear while working—you must wear the helmet provided while you work
• When the crew leader calls for a break, it’s probably not because he’s tired—stop work and rest
• Remember that tools designed to dig soil & cut wood will cut you and others
• People have a tendency to cluster as they work—keep a safe distance between yourself and the next person
• Bring a personal first aid kit—the stuff you bring can augment the crew’s first aid supplies
• If you are taking medicines, bring them with you & tell the crew leader
• If you have any medical condition, such as diabetes, tell the crew leader
• If your doctor has advised you against doing something—don’t do it

You are personally responsible for your personal safety.
