Generate RAMS for an archaeology watching brief in the UK. Covers excavation safety, ground conditions, lone working, and coordination with construction teams.
Frequently asked questions
- Do archaeologists need their own RAMS?
- Yes. While the principal contractor manages site-wide safety, archaeological subcontractors need their own task-specific RAMS covering the particular risks of watching brief work — excavation monitoring, recording, and finds recovery.
- What hazards are specific to watching briefs?
- Key hazards include working in and around open excavations, coordination with machine operators, contaminated ground, lone working, manual handling of finds and equipment, and prolonged outdoor exposure.
- Can Riskora handle archaeological terminology?
- Yes. Riskora includes archaeology-specific presets that use correct industry terminology — watching briefs, evaluation trenches, context recording, and finds processing — rather than generic construction language.
