Field activities are normally safe, but accidents do happen with potentially serious consequences; therefore, measures should be taken to reduce the risks. This field safety program is straightforward, widely applicable and scaleable to the wide range of field activities, from short roadside stops to long, backcountry expeditions. This course provides classroom activities on Day 1 with instructor talks, group problem solving and hands-on basic first aid scenarios. Day 2 will be a trip to a field location where participants will be able to practice many of the safety techniques discussed in the classroom. This course provides scenarios for implementing a good field safety process and a template for creating programs tailored to the needs of individual field trip leaders. We encourage leaders of field trips held in conjunction with the 2008 AAPG Annual Convention to register for this course.

NOTE: This two-day course is scheduled several days prior to convention field trips in order to accommodate leaders and other interested persons before they begin final preparation for their trips.

There are a limited number of sponsored registrations available for students on a first-come basis. If you wish to register for one of the sponsored spots, please register online at www.aapg.org/sanantonio/registration.cfm.

Important Notes Regarding Short Courses

Short course enrollment is limited.
Short courses are reserved on a first-come basis and registration must be accompanied by full payment.
If you register for a short course only, a $30 non-registrant fee will be added to the short course fee. This fee may be applied toward registration if you decide to attend the convention.
A wait list is automatically created if a short course sells out. The AAPG Convention Department will notify you if space becomes available.
If any of these short courses meet your needs or the needs of your professional staff, you are strongly encouraged to register early. To help us better anticipate the number of attendees and avoid premature cancellation of short courses, please register well before March 20, 2008.
Participants will receive notification of the specific location of their course.
Courses may be cancelled if undersubscribed; please keep this in mind when purchasing non-refundable airfares. pre-convention courses
