Agriculture (GMA)! We are honored that you have decided to become part of our
family and help us shape our community in positive ways.
There are some obvious ways in which being a volunteer at GMA will improve
your personal well-being. This includes the exceptional feeling achieved only by

mation in this handbook. We are so glad you will be with us! You are now a part of
our mission to make history come alive.

Our Mission
Our Purpose
We strive to educate our future generations by building a better future
through the past. Through a blend of education, entertainment, and
agriculture known as “Agritourism,” we strive to serve as a quality
venue for wholesome education and enrichment.
The GMA wants to educate visitors about our state’s agricultural
history and its rich rural and cultural heritage, with particular focus on
South Georgia at the turn of the 20th century. Through collection,
preservation, living history interpretation, exhibition, demonstration,
educational programming, hands-on experience, and fun, we seek to
increase understanding of Georgia’s rural and agricultural history
while emphasizing the continued growth of Georgia’s agriculture and
its importance to the future.

ABAC and the GMA United
The Georgia Museum of Agriculture (GMA) and ABAC work hand in
hand with one another, each bring valuable resources that the two
facilities can both use. ABAC has access to Alumni, other businesses and
schools, sponsors and the community that they can inform them about
the GMA and what they have to offer or going on. ABAC has direct
contact with staff, students; employees all coming from all over the world
that can help bring awareness to the GMA and also provide help if the
GMA needs it. The GMA is also a valuable resource to ABAC; they too
have contacts with people who could be viable to ABAC’s success.
The added resources help both the GMA and ABAC, but they also have
resources that are close to home. ABAC students can participate and be a
vital asset to the GMA’s success. The access to the students that the GMA
can take part in is a big help, if they need students to help, they know
directly where to find some. ABAC’s clubs and organizations are filled
with students who need volunteer work, this gives them the opportunity
to do their hours and provide the GMA with help as needed. In addition,
the GMA is a perfect location for students to get internship hours, hands
on skills needed for the real world and provide the GMA with more help
that they regularly would not have. Another important role ABAC can
assist the GMA with is their access to many different majors and
technicalities. The GMA has many different animals and crops that they
need to take care of. The GMA can get assistance on an animal issue from
the Ag students going for veterinarian medicine, which helps the GMA,
and the students with more real life experience. Another vital thing is if

This handbook is a guide. We would like it if you read the entire
handbook carefully. This guide does not provide answers to every
question. We ask that you seek the answers from management that are
not presented in the guide. The policies I this handbook may be
changed as needed. If it does change you will receive and updated
version. Use good judgment and careful consideration when interact-
ing with guests, and remember to provide excellent customer service.
Be sure to practice safety. Others are depending on you
Handbook Disclaimer
Where the Past Meets the Present - 8
Since all volunteers are committing their free time to the GMA, it is heavily
recommended that private and personal relationships, including those in a
romantic nature, are perused outside of the workplace. All pre-existing
relationships should be defined to the volunteers’ supervisor during the
application process. Any relationships that may form while volunteering
should also be reported to the volunteers’ supervisor. If any issues should
arise from within the relationship while still volunteering, we insist on
professionalism and courtesy towards all involved.
If there is any manner of unprofessionalism shown that result in
conflicts or poor light to the GMA, all parties involved will be
permanently dismissed.
Professionalism at the GMA

The Core Values
of the GMA

different houses on the museum grounds.

The volunteers work in the Turpentine Still, Saw Mill, Gristmill, or Varie-
ty works

They also have the ability to hold art shows at museum.
Where the Past Meets the Present - 11
the GMA needs crops planted and kept up the Ag students can also
make sure these crops are taking care of, giving the GMA one less thing
they have to worry about and giving them more opportunity to provide
the visitors with great service.
Being the GMA and ABAC work hand in hand with one another, they
also share their policies and responsibilities. ABAC police already works
with the GMA for any issues with staff members, volunteers, students or
visitors. If something goes wrong, they can call the ABAC police and
have them come and deal with the situation. Some of the vital policies
that ABAC and the GMA share are
All staff, board members and volunteers of the Abraham Baldwin Agri-
cultural College Foundation, Inc. (“ABAC Foundation, Inc.” or
“Foundation”) act with honesty, integrity, and openness in all their
dealings as representatives of the Foundation. The ABAC Foundation,
Inc. promotes a working environment that values respect, fairness and
integrity.
The ABAC Foundation, Inc. promotes inclusiveness. The staff, board and
volunteers reflect diversity in order to enrich its programmatic
effectiveness. The organization takes meaningful steps to promote inclu-
siveness in its hiring, retention, promotion, board recruitment and ser-
vice of constituencies.
No tobacco or alcohol on the museum grounds at any time. It is also a
gun and weapon free zone.
Where the Past Meets the Present - 12
These policies are saying that if you are associated with an event put on
by either the GMA or ABAC you must act in an honest manor and be
respectable to the foundation you are representing. This also means that
if you have a logo or anything with their name on it and are out on your
own time, you must stick to the rules as if you were at an event itself.
Your demeanor and actions reflect the ABAC and GMA organizations
and if you miss treat them it could come back to reflect badly for the
GMA or ABAC not just yourself. So enjoy your time here and represent
these organizations to the best you can. These two organizations also
reflect diversity in the members in which they use to insure a wide vari-
ety of people and knowledge. One important task is that no one volun-
teering or are on the GMA premises or at a function should be intoxicat-
ed, have a weapon or any tobacco product on hand. These items are not
permitted on the grounds to keep you, other staff and volunteers, and
customer’s safe at all times. Other policies relating to ABAC also relate
to the GMA so respect the organization and they will do the same to
you.

Where the Past Meets the Present - 19
Preventing Slips & Falls
Safeguard against slippery floors by keeping floors clean and uncluttered
and, where necessary, treating floors with slip-resistant coatings or chemi-
cal treatments. Choose floor cleaning chemicals with good grease-removal
and slip-resistance properties. Establish a floor cleaning schedule. When
spills occur, clean them up immediately and post "caution" or "wet floor"
signs until the floor is dry.
Ice machines can also create fall hazards because of the large volume of
water involved. Select an ice scoop with a size and shape that minimizes
spills. Place rubber or fabric-faced mats in front of the ice machine unless
they introduce an additional tripping hazard. Make sure that all ice ma-
chines and freezer doors seal properly to prevent water from leaking or
freezing on the floor.
Encourage professional language when employees are moving through
crowded areas. Phrases such as "behind you," "hot," "and "corner" help
prevent collisions and falls.
Employees should never carry large loads that obstruct their vision.
Safety & Prevention
Where the Past Meets the Present - 20
Equipment & Attire
Many accidents may be prevented by using proper equipment and at-
tire in the Kitchen. Make sure all kitchen workers have:
Long sleeves to reduce burns
Closed toe, skid-resistant shoes to reduce falls and injuries from
hot liquids
Heavy pans for increased stability and fewer spills
Sharp knives
Take time to train new employees on proper knife handling. Keep your
knives sharp, handles secure and store with the blades covered. Only al-
low trained employees to operate electric slicers. All slicing machine
guards should be kept in place and in good working condition.
Moving Heavy Loads
It is common for foodservice employees to need to move loads of up to
50 lbs. Employees should know how to safely lift heavy loads in order
to reduce potential back injuries. Train employees to lift with their legs,
take small steps, and change direction by moving their feet, not twist-
ing, when handling heavy items. Use a cart or dolly to lift extra heavy
loads.
Aisles should be wide enough for employees to lift and carry cases
without hitting shelves. When possible, store heavy loads at waist
height. Load trays with the heaviest items in the center.
Where the Past Meets the Present - 21
Hazard Communication
Restaurants need to pay attention to the U.S. Department of Labor Oc-
cupational Safety & Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazard Commu-
nication Standard. This rule requires employers who have any potential-
ly-hazardous chemical in the workplace, such as cleaning solvents or
pesticides, to provide information about these chemicals to employees
through labels on containers, material safety data sheets (a manufactur-
er-provided data sheet), and training programs.
Cleaning chemicals should be stored in a separate area away from food
and heat sources, in their original container and with a tight lid. Em-
ployees should be taught to:
Never mix chemicals.
Use chemicals only in well ventilated areas.
Follow label directions when disposing of chemical containers.
Wash hands after using or touching any chemical or equipment
used with a chemical
Where the Past Meets the Present - 22
Burn Prevention
Provide training for all employees on recognizing and controlling burn
hazards. Also, take these protective measures:
Make potholders easily accessible.
Provide adequate room for safe handling of pots on the range top.
Install safety devices such as temperature and pressure relief valves
to help reduce the potential for explosion of pressurized water heat-
ing systems.
Reduce the temperature on your hot water heaters to reduce the po-
tential for scalding when using hot water in sinks.
Train employees to stand back when using the automated lid on a
braising pan or steam-jacketed kettle.
Only allow trained employees to condition deep fryer grease, and
only with proper protective equipment. Post written procedures spe-
cific to the equipment in use.
Fire Prevention
Follow these housekeeping rules to help prevent kitchen fires:
Never leave dish rags or aprons near a hot surface.
Never leave stoves or other equipment unattended when in use.
Clean range hoods and stoves on schedule to help reduce build-up.
Don't overload electrical outlets.
Don't force three-pronged cords into two-prong outlets.
Don't use equipment with a frayed cord or bent prongs.
Don't use equipment that smokes, sparks or otherwise arouses suspi-
cion.
Employees should know the building evacuation plan, what the fire
alarm sounds like, how to turn on the fire alarm, where to find a fire
extinguisher, and how to use it.
Where the Past Meets the Present - 23
Communication:
Smile: always serve with a smile and warm greeting, “Hi, welcome to
the __________. My name is _______________”
Eye Contact: turn body toward guest and greet with a smile.
Treat every guest as an individual: every guest is important and spe-
cial, treat them as you want to be treated.
“My pleasure”: always answer with a My Pleasure, not a “yea, ugh,
no problem, sure thing”, not even a “thank you” Thank each and eve-
ry guest: show appreciation, thank them for everything they do.
“I don’t know”: NEVER say I don’t know. Always answer “Please let
me find out for you” if you are unaware of a question that is being
asked.
Respect children: Don’t talk down to them, respect their questions,
and respected there space by giving them eye to eye communication
REMINDER: You are the show! Act the part.
Customer Service
Interacting with the guest:
There is no excuse for being rude or lazy. You’re not to lay down or
fall asleep on the furniture. You’re main task is to represent and inter-
pret the historic culture of rural south of Georgia. Always find some-
thing to keep you busy.
Encourage: always compliment everyone, get to know everyone, and
find different ways to be creative.
Where the Past Meets the Present - 24
Provide immediate service recovery: try to always make this experi-ence a positive one, if you see something with negativity. Try to make it positive.
Example: If a child drops an ice cream, you should cheerfully go and calm the child and speak to the parents. Then, recommend them to go back to the Drug Store to get another ice cream.
Display appropriate body language: watch out for posture and how
others may see you. You should show cheerfulness by how you talk,
posture, and facial expressions to the guest and other around you.
Be knowledgeable: know everything around you, and be familiar
with your work area and other areas as well. Know the history, be-
cause our guest may have questions and we need to provide answers.
Cleanliness: no matter what your role or positions is everyone should
help each other and clean the area that you are assigned too. When
the museum and when it closes.
Help police the premises: always be on the look-out for anything that
is not allowed. Such as profanity, alcohol, or tobacco product
(including vapor cigarettes) use will be tolerated. If you see a guest
who is breaking a policy of the GMA/ABAC does not approach them
by yourself. Contact a member of the management team
