Risk to Ecologist’s safety

  • Created:
  • Reference: KBCN0704

In some situations a significant safety risk may prevent a suitably qualified ecologist from attending the site to undertake a site survey. In these cases a desktop study can be used to demonstrate compliance, where the ecologist confirms that it is an acceptably robust substitute.

In these cases, the assessor must provide evidence to confirm the type of significant safety risk present.
