Outside Safety
Faculty, Staff, and Students engaging in outside activities must be aware of and prepare for ‘Real World’ hazards such as:
Sun Burn
Thunder Storms
Tornados
Unsafe Drinking Water
Poisonous Plants
Stings and Bites
Animal Attacks
First Aid Kits
AED Access
Hygienic Practices
Water and Boating Safety
Most of this is simple common sense stuff like:
· If you’re walking from your residence hall to the dining hall during heavy snow don’t wear flip-flops.
· If you’re going out on the boat at the Baliles Center, wear a life preserver and sun protection.
· If you go blackberry picking behind Lancer Park, wear long clothing for protection from ticks, chiggers, thorns, and poison ivy.
But if you’re going into more wilderness like locals, research the hazards and prepare accordingly.
