It is important that organisers of fieldwork trips are aware of any medical conditions (such as asthma, epilepsy, diabetes) or illnesses affecting any of the participants so that appropriate precautions can be taken. This will include:
Fieldtrip participants should be asked to make a declaration that they are not knowingly suffering from any medical condition that could compromise their health and safety during the trip e.g. diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, vertigo etc using a health questionnaire (example Health Questionnaire).
