Description: Many archivists hold romantic notions of heroically entering a disaster site to salvage collections. Few, however, understand the health and safety issues of a disaster site. Are you prepared to respond to a disaster for your own archive, let alone to assist others in a large disaster? Do you have any staff members that are trained and ready to enter the building if professional abatement and HazMat is needed? Or would you be left outside worrying about your collections until officials deem it safe for you to go back in? Are your practices compliant with OSHA and EPA regulations? Did you know firemen can refuse to enter a building to fight the fire inside if you do not have a current survey of hazards? Or are your collections at risk?

This workshop will guide you through health and safety regulations relevant to moving image archives, allowing you to put practices in place so that safety personnel responding to a disaster at your archive can work quickly and effectively with you. Issues regarding personal safety, training requirements, and personal equipment needed to enter a disaster site will also be covered.

Monona Rossol specializes in OSHA training and is the author of numerous health and safety publications.

A Certificate will be issued to each participation upon completion of the workshop.
