Fieldwork

An approved Fieldwork Risk Assessment (FWRA) form is required before any fieldwork takes place within Australia or overseas. The FWRA  includes a safety risk assessment where hazards are identified and appropriate risk reduction procedures are considered and implemented. The FWRA also provides a record of important contact information you may need if an incident occurs. A copy of this form must be taken into the field with you and a copy should also be given to the designated contact person/s (digital copies are acceptable).

Refer to the Fieldwork Risk Assessment Guidelines for further information and assistance in completing the FWRA.

Before fieldwork commences, Fieldwork Leaders in the Faculty of Science and Engineering must add their fieldwork details into the FSE Fieldwork and Travel Outlook calendar
