Without proper safety planning, consideration of local infrastructure and jobsite hazards, a geoscientist runs the risk of being an OSHA statistic. In the latest issue of The Professional Geologist, the American Institute of Professional Geologists lists considerations geoscientists should take to keep themselves safe, and to ensure a safe working environment for construction staff and scientists alike. Author and professional geologist, George Davis goes beyond the personal protective equipment and looks at navigating underground utilities, vehicular traffic and how regulations on how to navigate jobsite hazards may vary state-by-state.
