All Expedition Participants are required to follow all applicable legal requirements. The Burpee Museum Expeditions are: held in desolate and isolated areas of Utah that can have unpredictable and extreme weather conditions. This can include large daily temperature fluctuations, high and low temperatures, violent winds, and storms. Such weather may cause field activities to be canceled or shortened. Weather may also be life-threatening and cause in-field stranding, unpassable roads, and other dangerous conditions; in areas with plant, animal, and insect life that can cause injury or death, e.g., poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, fire ants, cacti, and cougars. Participants can potentially suffer from things such as sunburn, windburn, heat stroke, venomous and non-poisonous bites, cuts, bruises, abrasions, sprains, broken bones, dehydration, and other injuries and circumstances up to and including loss of life; located in a territory often very distant from medical care clinics and hospitals. Due to field conditions, geography, or particular incidents, Participants may not be able to receive professional medical support or care in a timely fashion; situated in a variety of field site settings that require hard physical labor, long work hours, close working quarters with fellow Participants, and walking on uneven, elevated, slippery, and rough ground. Additionally, expedition participants may be exposed to prolonged sunlight, loud continual noise, and dust from wind and power tools, and other weather-related or manmade hazards. All Participants are assigned to a field crew which must act in concert with other crews in order to achieve the scientific purposes of the expedition. Burpee Museum cannot make accommodations in the field to meet the needs of individual Participants, e.g., shortened work days, and special dietary requirements. The success of the respective Burpee Museum field expeditions is dependent on the full participation of all expedition Participants in order to meet the expedition's Scientific and field collection goals. All expedition Participants must conduct themselves in a manner compatible with safe and legal collection practices and engage in respectful camp practices and interactions with other expedition Participants. Suppose an expedition Participant is unable to do so. In that case, his or her Participant status may be revoked at the discretion of Burpee Museum’s Director of Collections and exhibits, Science Programs Manager, or Executive Director. In the case of a Utah expedition Participant, this means that the person may no longer work on-site at the Hanksville Burpee Quarry. If a Participant has his or her status revoked by Burpee Museum, no refunds of fees paid will be provided. In the case of a Minor whose Participant status is revoked, the Parent or Guardian of that Minor will also have his or her Participant status revoked. Burpee Museum is not responsible for any expense or circumstance that arises from a former Participant after his or her status is revoked. Any subsequent transportation, lodging, food, or other expenses that incur to a person who has had his or her Participant status revoked is the responsibility of that person or his or her Parent/Guardian. Consent*I understand that I will be exposed to potentially hazardous or extreme working conditions if I am selected to participate in an expedition. I also understand that I am expected to fully participate in the activities of the expedition, as well as abide by any and all state and federal laws that govern the expedition. Further, I understand that I will be working, traveling, and lodging in close quarters with other Participants and that my Participant status may be revoked at any time if I am unable to do so in an appropriate manner. If my Participant status is revoked I will not be eligible for any refund, and will not be able to work at the Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry.
