This is a professional template, not a project-approved risk assessment. It must be reviewed, completed and adapted for the specific survey instruction, site conditions, terrain, traffic interfaces, excavations, utilities, weather, coordinate reference system, equipment, workforce, access arrangements, emergency provisions, applicable legislation, standards and client requirements before use.
