The FAME Health and Safety Working Group creates our Health and Safety Guides to provide detailed practical advice to our members and for the archaeological sector. This guide focuses on Tick-borne Diseases and how to best protect yourself and your fellow archaeologists.

“Thanks very much for this excellent guidance. This is highly relevant to us working in the highlands and something we have been aware of for many years. It’s really good to have some clear advice for archaeologists specifically. I have had to alert several contractors, working in the highlands for the first time, about ticks, so I will throw this at them in the future.”
