Field First Aid & Field Trip Planning

UCSB’s Environmental Health and Safety offers two optional Field Safety Planning and Field First Aid classes during the fall and spring quarters for researchers and students who work in the field. These classes cover adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) training. 

The classes are taught by individuals with years of field experience and are designed to provide researchers and students with field first aid training and assist with preparing for work in the field. Below is a brief outline for each opportunity.

Wildfire Smoke Protection Training

In an effort to protect outdoor workers from hazards associated with wildfire smoke, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board recently approved an emergency regulation establishing new protection requirements(Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 5141.1.)

The standard is applicable when the Air Quality Index for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is 151 or greater. It applies to employees who work outside or in non-filtered buildings and/or vehicles for more than one hour per shift. Use the Decision - Making Matrix below to help guide in the event of a wildfire.

The University of California has measures in place to inform you of, and protect you from, the dangers of inhaling wildfire smoke. To complete Wildfire Smoke Training:

1. Review the information provided in the handout.

2. Take the test to receive credit.

For more information and resources on protection from wildfire visit the EH&S - Industrial Hygiene webpage.
