实地研究可以是许多学术领域研究人员职业轨迹的一个重要组成部分;然而，在实地环境中进行研究会给健康和安全带来风险，来自边缘化群体的研究人员面临的风险往往比其领域的其他研究人员面临的风险更大;如果这些额外的风险没有得到积极和周到的缓解，它们可能会阻碍合格的调查人员参与实地研究，并阻碍为改善和促进实地科学的多样性、公平和包容性所作的努力。在这里，我们提供了，从我们的角度为生物科学系在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡大学，美国野外安全手册的共同作者，（A）的风险和障碍，应考虑规划和进行实地研究和（B）建议如何作为一个合作团队开发一个包容性的野外安全手册时的背景。作为这一拟议进程所产生的手册的一个例子，我们已列入我们自己的外地安全手册，该手册是以多样性、公平和包容为中心重点编写的。我们希望这份出版物作为一个起点，为那些有兴趣开发一个类似的文件，在他们的实验室小组，部门或机构使用。
Field research can be an important component of the career trajectories for researchers in numerous academic fields; however, conducting research in field settings poses risks to health and safety, and researchers from marginalized groups often face greater risks than those experienced by other researchers in their fields; If these additional risks are not actively and thoughtfully mitigated, they are likely to hinder the participation of qualified investigators in field research and counteract efforts to improve and promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the field sciences. Here we provide, from our perspectives as co-authors of a field safety manual for the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, United States, (A) background on risks and barriers that should be considered when planning and conducting field research and (B) suggestions on how to work as a collaborative team for developing an inclusive field safety manual. As an example of a manual this proposed process has yielded, we have included our own field safety manual written with diversity, equity and inclusion as a central focus. We hope this publication serves as a starting point for those interested in developing a similar document for use in their laboratory group, department or institution.
