Personal Safety of Federal Land-Management Field Employees Working Along the Mexican Border
A detailed work plan cannot be submitted at this point. If the project is going to be successful, the project team will need to work closely with the existing Borderland Management Task Force Committee. The committee must be involved from the start, including planning the project, reviewing draft material, and approving the final training DVDs.
Local safety and health officers from each agency in the region need to be involved. Not only will they have helpful information for the DVDs, but they will be able to provide invaluable logistical support. Safety specialists, perhaps including law enforcement officers at times, will be needed to provide safety for project team members as they travel to dangerous parts of the region to conduct interviews and shoot videotape.
Cost estimates for the project can be based on the actual expenditures required to produce the previous four personal training videos for the Forest Service. The two DVDs recommended in this report will be somewhat less costly to produce because the project is narrowly focused and will require less travel and time for development. Each DVD will take 2 years to complete. The estimated total cost for this project over a 4-year period will be $150,000 to 200,000.
