Safety Orientations
Before you begin any work as a volunteer, you must watch the Stampede’s General Safety Orientation that was provided in your onboarding package from Volunteer Services. When volunteering on Park, you should be familiar with the muster points, the location of medical services including AEDs, and the location of first aid kits.

- Formal investigation by Volunteer Committee Chair or their designee
