[TMRA] Help Needed

[Brad Ruhberg]

From Steve/W8TER



Field day is in need of someone to fill the position of "Safety Officer" for the field day site.

Although infrequent, accidents unfortunately occur in Amateur Radio activity. ARRL recommends (and offers bonus points for) having a safety officer on board for Field Day operation.

Here are just a few things the job would include but not be limited to:

Fuel for generator properly stored.
Fire extinguisher on hand and appropriately located.
First Aid kit on hand. First Aid - CPR - AED trained participant/s on site.
Access to NWS alerts to monitor for inclement weather.
Tent stakes properly installed and marked.
Temporary antenna structures properly secured and marked.
Site secured from tripping hazards.
Site is set up in a neat and orderly manner to reduce hazards.
Stations and equipment properly grounded.
Access to a means to contact police/fire/rescue.
Minimize risks and control hazards to ensure no injuries to public.
Monitoring participants for hydration and ensure an adequate water supply is available.
