VOLUNTEER SAFETY
It is the Park staff’s intent to set examples for safety practices for all tasks and working conditions. Volunteers will be instructed to safely work within their assigned roles. Although every effort will be made to maintain a safe environment, the basic responsibility for health and safety rests with the individual. All volunteers should conduct their tasks in a safe and healthful manner.
