EXERCISING JUDGMENT/IMPACT OF DECISIONS

The Practicum Field Coordinator is a representative of the CSFS at UBC Farm and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems.

Therefore, ensuring a high regard for professionalism, safety, and adherence to UBC policies is of considerable importance. When dealing with equipment, including tractors and field implements in a variety of field conditions and weather, the Practicum Field Coordinator will need to critically assess each operation before proceeding in order to ensure the safety of all individuals involved. When using high-powered equipment, poor judgment of the operating conditions and context can result in injury or death. Safety orientations and training will be provided before the assignment of tasks that require the use of such equipment.
