work.\u00a0 For this week's recitation media piece, you will be submitting a <a href=\"https:\/\/vividscience.org\/index.php\/campus-envirobio\/field-lab\/safety-checklist\/#\">safety checklist<\/a> as well as safety habits and practices. \u00a0This page begins with the basic components in a safety checklist.<\/strong><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>This will be a generalized safety checklist that could be used in home labs, outdoors in a\u00a0controlled environment (garden, park) or in a field site (wilderness). \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Consider what can be hazardous and include in your safety checklist:<\/strong><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> (1) steps to prevent these hazards as well as <\/strong><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>(2) steps on what to do if something goes wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h6>This is Lesley's safety checklist.\u00a0 Some of the things are personal based on past experiences and current work with animals.<\/h6> <h6>\u00a0<\/h6> <h6>You can adopt any procedures\/ideas that seem appropriate for your own use.\u00a0 You are designing a checklist for your own locations, situations, and personal behaviors.<\/h6> <h6>\u00a0<\/h6> <h6>Your safety checklist can have headers like \"home lab,\" \"garden\" or \"field trip,\" or a different organization.\u00a0 Whatever makes it most effective for use.<\/h6> <h6>\u00a0<\/h6> <h6>You may also want to add procedures that limit exposure to pathogens, reducing risk of infectious illnesses.<\/h6>\n<ul> <li>Avoid potentially hazardous situations, even if it means missing a photo or video opportunity.<\/li> <li>Consider the safety of other people and animals at all times, especially our cats.<\/li> <li>Clean up work spaces, don't leave any potentially dangerous materials behind.<\/li> <li>Communicate any safety concerns to Mark or whoever else may be involved.<\/li> <li>Follow safety directions on signs, in activities, and on product labels.<\/li> <li>Carry a safety kit everywhere, all the time.\u00a0<\/li> <li>Wasp sting?\u00a0 Immediately take benadryl and prednisone.\u00a0 Epipen if necessary.<\/li> <li>Seek medical assistance if at all unsure about treatment.<\/li> <li>Wear gloves when needed; wash hands frequently.<\/li> <li>Wear a mask, especially while working around potential rodent feces.<\/li> <li>Wear protective footwear and clothing, including sun hats and long sleeves.<\/li> <li>Watch loose hair and clothing around animals, chemicals, and flames.<\/li> <li>Wear safety goggles or other protective eyewear when working with chemicals or walking along trails with low-lying branches.<\/li> <li>Take breaks, avoid over-exertion and use cane even if feeling great.<\/li> <li>Avoid \"playing\" with animals to reduce chance of unintentional injury (to me and\/or the animals).<\/li> <li>It should be obvious, but don't taste or smell without care to reduce hazard.<\/li> <li>Don't eat or drink around chemicals, animals, or waste products.<\/li> <li>Add new safety procedures when needed.<\/li> <\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">First Aid<\/h3>\n<p>It is a good idea to have a first aid kit at home and in the field.\u00a0 In this video we go through a\"deluxe\" first aid kit to show optimal organization. \u00a0A more basic kit that can cost well less than $20 USD is in the resources section.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vividscience.org\/index.php\/campus-envirobio\/field-lab\/resources\/#\" > Resources <\/a>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/459768154[\/embed]\n<p>In addition to a generalized first aid kit, you may need a specific personalized first aid kit for yourself or a friend\/family

style=\"text-align: center;\">Emergency Preparedness Kits<\/h3>\n<p>Due to the recent pandemic and regional natural disasters, people are increasingly aware of the need to keep emergency preparedness kits. \u00a0Many of these items overlap with a substantial first aid kit and the field kit you will be preparing in the next guide (no purchases required). \u00a0This video introduces the basic contents in an emergency preparedness kit. \u00a0Number your notes 1 through 13 and keep track of each item that is included in the kit.<\/p>\n[embed]https:\/\/vimeo.com\/459772493[\/embed]\n<p>If you

are over 100,000 identified wasp species compared to 16,000 bee species, and approximately 13,000 ant species.\u00a0 The vast majority of wasp species are solitary with a single female building a nest
