Thinking Safe and Green Notes
UC Master Gardener Thinking Safe and Green Notes are one-page summaries of information to help volunteers and coordinators stay healthy and safe and protect the environment while working in the garden. Notes are developed by UC ANR EH&S, with input and review from the statewide UC Master Gardener staff.
Program Safety Manual
The UC Master Gardener Safety Manual (PDF) provides guidance for volunteers on best practices to reduce the risk of injury or illness during UC Master Gardener-sponsored activities. This is a great manual for training new or experienced volunteers about UC ANR policies and best practices to maintain a safe volunteer environment.
Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement
A Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement (PDF) form should be signed anytime there is possible risk for participating in an activity or event. Check with EH&S for specific times the form is required.
