<br />5.2 Safety Considerations <br /> <br />No observations are worth the injury or death of any project participants. All field personnel should always <br />maintain an awareness that they are operating in potentially hazardous conditions. <br /> <br />The most interesting weather for experimentation can produce poor traveling conditions on the Plateau <br />because highways are snowpacked or icy and visibility is limited in blowing snow and sometimes dense cloud. <br />Highway travel in poor visibility can result in encountering snowplows or other traffic with a very brief time <br />to react. <br /> <br />Field personne~ whether in vehicles, on snowmobiles, or at fixed Plateau-top facilities, should always be <br />equipped to spend extended periods without power and heat. It is the responsibility of each field person to <br />always have at hand the clothing and gear needed for their survival in a harsh winter environment. Mountain <br />weather changes rapidly. A warm, sunny period can soon deteriorate into cold, windy, snowy conditions. <br />Field personnel should never venture onto the Plateau without carrying their personal survival clothing and <br />gear, and a working project radio. Moreover, before traveling onto the Plateau, field personnel are <br />responsible for informing the project director, or his designated deputy, of their travel plans including <br />expected time of departure from the Plateau. Field personnel shall always check in with the project director <br />or designated deputy when reaching the Sanpete Valley after departing the Plateau. <br /> <br />In-cloud aircraft flight over the Plateau can encounter serious turbulence and airframe icing. Pilots must be <br />especially alert for conditions beyond the aircraft's capabilities for safe flight. The aircraft commander has <br />ultimate responsibility and authority concerning aircraft and aircrew safety. He can and shall cancel a <br />mission, or refuse to begin a mission, whenever he has concerns about safety for any reason. <br /> <br />6. FIELD PERSONNEL AND PRIMARY RESPONSmILmES <br /> <br />Personnel from several institutions and agencies will be involved in the early 1994 field program as listed <br />below. Not all personnel will be in the field at any given time. For example, electronics personnel may be in <br />the field for initial setup and will thereafter return as needed for equipment maintenance or repair. <br /> <br />Name <br /> <br />Agency <br /> <br />Clark Ogden <br />Erick Faatz <br />Dennis Faatz <br />Randy Allred <br />Audrey Gove <br />Renee Mauche <br />Chris Walker <br />Nathan Millward <br />Christen Faatz <br />Joe Hanks <br />Darrin Hanks <br />Bryce Jackson <br /> <br />State of Utah <br /> <br />" " <br /> <br />11 II <br /> <br />Arlin Super <br />Jack McPartland <br />Glenn Cascino <br /> <br />Reclamation <br /> <br />Main Responsibility <br /> <br />Project Director <br />Head Field Technician <br />Deputy Head Field Technician -Generator Guru <br />Rawinsonde Observations <br />Technician (TAR Site) <br />Technician (RRS Site) <br />Technician (Mobile Radiometer) <br />Technician (HQ) <br />Technician (TAR Site) <br />Seeding Technician (HAS & AHS Site) <br />Technician (Floating) <br />Technician (Driver-van) <br /> <br />Chief Scientist, Exp.
