AJ10 Contribute to health and safety in the workplace

Elements

AJ10.1 Operate safely in the workplace

AJ10.2 Respond to emergencies

AJ10.3 Assist in the security of the workplace

Unit Commentary:

This unit is designed for the archaeologist to demonstrate competence to contribute to health and safety in the workplace. It asks them to be on the look out for hazards and, when identified, deal with them if appropriate, ensuring they are reported for others to become aware of. They must be aware of their responsibilities in respect of Health and Safety at Work and the practices and procedures that help to maintain H&S for themselves and others. They would be expected to have a basic understanding of emergency services and procedures and be able to respond appropriately. Similarly, there would be a requirement to assist with security procedures with regard to trespassing and breaches of security involving damage or theft of plant, equipment, materials and property.
