Great information about poisonous plants, how to identify plants to prevent contact and how to treat an injury if it occurs. Also see bit.ly/44p93zc @UofAALES @ualbertaScience @UAlbertaNorth @UofA_HSE
Can you identify these poisonous plants? If you work outdoors, understand the risks and know what to do if you’ve been exposed. Learn more: ow.ly/Mpgz50P1pl5

From wildfire evacuations to floods in a few days - check out @511Alberta and rivers.alberta.ca/ before going to your field sites @UofA_HSE @ualbertaScience @UofAALES
Hwy32 near TwpRd 583B, south of Whitecourt - bridge is closed in both directions due to flooding. Hwy open to local traffic only. Use an alternate route. (2:51pm) #ABRoads

There are two active #fires in the Wawa District. Wawa 2 is currently 105 hectares and 6 kilometers west of White River. Wawa 3 is currently 3900 hectares and 9 kilometers east of White River. Both fires are not under control. Visit ontario.ca/forestfires for more information.

Nice simple infographic!
From Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks...some reminders about how to identify bear species. What to look for!
ALT From Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks...color and size can be misleading for identifying bear species. Use a combination of features! Brown bears (grizzly bears) should have a shoulder hump, rounded, short ears, a dished facial profile, and longer claws (2-4 inches). Toes will be spaced closer together and aligned straight across the top of the foot pad. Black bears should have no shoulder hump, pointed, tall ears, a straight facial profile, and shorter claws (~1.5 inches). Toes will be more separated and aligned along the curve of the top of the foot pad.

Great #UAlberta research
About 600 seemingly disparate #fungi that had resisted categorization have been shown to have a common ancestor, according to #UAlberta-led research that used genome sequencing to give these creatures a new classification home. @ualbertascience @tips_spiie ualberta.ca/folio/2022/11/ge…

Just giving a heads up to researchers working in that area @UofA_HSE @UAlbertaNorth
A fire advisory is now in effect for High Level Forest Area due to hot and dry conditions. For more information and a detailed map of the restriction boundary, visit albertafirebans.ca #ABWildfire
Good advice during the current heatwave!
If your body can't maintain an average temperature of 38 C, it can trigger a heat stress disorder. Protect yourself and learn how to work under hot conditions safely: ow.ly/6KLR30sotCy
Good advice!! Slow down @UofA_HSE
Did you know? Speeding on gravel is 3 times more likely to cause collisions with injuries or fatalities.
Stay safe. Slow down. Learn more at ow.ly/7hWE30sotCq
Heat warning issued by Environment Canada for many parts of Alberta, those working in the field, follow your Heat Stress program! bit.ly/3J7drcJ @UofA_HSE @ualbertaScience @UofAALES @SRWP_H2O @UAlbertaNorth @UofA_Arts
