Risk assessments are required for any hazardous activity. In this unit pupils:
- plan and carry out their own investigation
- collect and handle small invertebrates
- work in an outside environment
Many employers have specific guidance on fieldwork. Model risk assessments used by most employers for normal science activities can be found in the publications listed in the
Teacher's guide. Teachers need to follow these as indicated in the guidance notes for the activities, and consider what modifications are needed for individual classroom situations.
