Risk assessment of fieldwork activities
Introduction
-
A risk assessment is required for all departmental fieldwork trips.
-
Group Leader / Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that fieldwork activities are risk assessed and appropriate measures identified to reduce risk to a low and acceptable level. This includes the application of the code of good fieldwork practices which provides a basic 'safe system of work' (i.e. set of accepted fieldwork practices).
