Safety Tips

1. Read this list of safety tips completely and acknowledge that you have read it by signing in with a coordinator.
2. Wear light or bright-colored protective clothing as well as hard-soled shoes and work gloves.
3. Work only during daylight hours and during acceptable weather.
4. Stay alert for snakes and noxious weeds, and avoid them. Use caution and common sense.
5. Park your car in a safe place away from busy traffic. If necessary, use carpool to the target area.
6. Do not go in the road to pick up litter.
7. Work facing on-coming traffic.
8. Do not play around or do anything that would distract passing drivers or other volunteers. Your being on the roadside already is a distraction.
9. Do not overexert yourself. Take occasional breaks and drink plenty of fluids.
10. Do not pick up materials that appear to be hazardous. Contact a coordinator or the police.
