Visitors using the collections and the equipment in the Range should not wear loose sleeve clothing as this often tends to get caught on corners, handles, or within the blade area of sawing equipment. The hazards of wearing open-toed shoes in the collection area are obvious and should be avoided. Visitors should ask for assistance when moving or lifting heavy materials, trays etc. Safety goggles are provided and must be worn when using the saw or other rock cutting or splitting equipment. Generally, clear headed, common sense is all that is required to prevent serious mishaps in the work and collection areas.
Fire extinguishers are available in the Paleobotany Range.
Visitors and Students should familiarize themselves with their location and operation. Students working with specimens are expected to abide by the procedures listed within this policy. Students are responsible for curating, cleaning, and cataloguing their research specimens, under the guidance and supervision of the Collection Manager. Teaching Assistants or others may use the range for tours or demonstrations, but should make arrangements with the Collection Manager to allow time to accommodate such use.
