Wax Wrote:. Has any commercial archaeology company stood up to the main contractor over this ?
I doubt it.
I know supervisors who have complained about absurd Health and safety issues to management only to have their concerns completely ignored, but I've never heard of a Archaeological company telling a contractor where to go over it. If all Archaeological units stood together on the issue then construction companies would have no choice but to let us decide on what necessary health and safety measures / PPE are to implemented, which as has been pointed out is how it should be. Endless form filling, pointless ( and potentially dangerous ) PPE and site inductions that last all day would be a thing of the past.
