Health and Safety
- Industrial Archaeology sites may contain many hidden hazards including unsafe buildings, overgrown and water-filled mine shafts,
pits and quarries, and contaminated land.
- Visitors to sites are reminded that at all times Health and Safety considerations, both to themselves and the general public,
should be their primary concern and that if they have any doubts or concerns the site should not be entered.
- It is strongly recommended that people advise others of the sites they intend to visit so that their whereabouts are known in
the event of an accident.
- Further, where a group visit is proposed a formal risk assessment should be undertaken in advance by a competent person.
