Frequently asked questions
- What is an archaeology method statement?
- An archaeology method statement describes the procedures for carrying out archaeological fieldwork, including excavation techniques, recording methods, finds handling, environmental sampling, and reporting. It forms part of the Written Scheme of Investigation.
- Do archaeological projects need RAMS?
- Yes. Like any construction-related activity, archaeological fieldwork requires risk assessments and method statements covering health and safety. Hazards include excavation collapse, manual handling, contaminated ground, and adverse weather.
- How does Riskora handle archaeological hazards?
- Riskora includes archaeology-specific hazard presets covering hand excavation, deep trenching, contaminated deposits, lone working in rural locations, and the use of plant and machinery on archaeological sites.
- Can I include methodological procedures in my RAMS?
- Yes. While RAMS primarily cover health and safety, Riskora's method statement section can include archaeological methodology alongside safety procedures, creating a comprehensive document for client submission.
