2 DESCRIPTION AND METHODOLOGY OF FIELDWORK RISK ASSESSMENT Fieldwork should never involve a significant risk to your safety or the safety of others. You should always seek to identify any hazards associated with planned fieldwork and assess the risk associated with those hazards. You should then put control measures in place in order to reduce risk to an acceptable level. Assessments of risk should be suitable and sufficient rather than elaborate and minutely detailed. When identifying and evaluating risks and appropriate precautions you should base your assessment on what a well-informed person would consider reasonable. IDENTIFYING HAZARD AND RISK: Almost all activities involve some degree of risk. For fieldwork you should pay particular attention to the following: Hazards that are specific to the planned activity e.g. are associated with working in and around rivers Hazards that can be reasonably foreseen Hazards and associated risk that are likely to have serious consequences e.g. result in injury Hazards and associated risk that May be accentuated by any disabilities, illnesses etc. that you might have at the time of fieldwork. Hazards associated with the location of fieldwork. Hazards associated with the timing of fieldwork e.g. working at night, working according to tide times. You should also give some thought to the possible ethical implications of your fieldwork. Sometimes research can have serious consequences for the groups or individuals being studied. DEFINITIONS: A Hazard is something that has potential to cause injury or damage A Risk is the likelihood of someone being injured by a hazard and the severity of the injury. It is impossible to address risks that are unforeseeable but all other risks that we would reasonable be expected to know should be addressed. When identifying and evaluating risks and appropriate control measures you should base your assessment on what a well-informed person would consider reasonable. CONTROL MEASURES: The following hierarchy of controls is used when deciding on how to reduce risk: 1. Elimination 2. Substitution 3. Engineering solution (e.g. equipment provision) 4. Administrative solutions (e.g. training) 5. Personal Protective Equipment (e.g. protective clothing) 2

3 Likelihood Department of Geography, School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College, Dublin 2 RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY MATRIX The following matrix is used in the Department of Geography to assess risk. High Medium Low M H H* L M H L L M Low Medium High Likelihood to be graded as: Low: Rare may only occur in exceptional circumstances Medium: Possible might possible occur at some time High probable expected to occur in most circumstances Severity/Consequences Severity/Consequences to be graded as: Low: No injury or minor injury requiring first aid/doctors visit and small potential cost to employer Medium: Reversible or severe injury requiring hospitalisation and potential cost to the employer High: irreversible or serious injury requiring long term hospitalisation and substantial potential cost to the employer Yielding the Risk to be graded as: L - Low M - Medium H - High H* - Very High 3
