Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 – Advice for Archaeological Practitioners

The FAME Health and Safety group has been working on creating advice for FAME members on a range of issues. We are happy to announce the publication of our advice on Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.

Key Take Away

“Both FAME and the HSE discourage archaeologists from undertaking a role automatically, or by default, for which they may not be qualified, and which may result in significant health and safety and commercial risk.”

The principal author of this paper was Luke Brannlund (Cotswold Archaeology) with input from other members of the FAME Health and Safety Working Group. FAME is very grateful to Russell Adfield and his colleagues at the HSE for the advice they gave during the production of this paper.

Our guides rarely change but occasional updates do occur and it is best to check this page for the most recent version.
