New Fieldwork Safety Procedure and Guidelines

The Fieldwork Committee has developed a new Fieldwork Procedure and Fieldwork Guidelines to assist staff and students to undertake fieldwork safely whilst completing research and teaching.

A new approval and authorisation process has been developed, which is associated with the level of risk of the fieldwork component. 

The primary approval process, in the first instance, lies with the Chief Investigator/Supervisor/Unit Coordinator, who also authorises low risk level activities. Where an activity is greater than low risk (medium, high, very high) the responsibility to authorise the fieldwork is held by relevant senior University representatives. 

Please refer to the Fieldwork process, procedure and guidelines, and please download and complete the current fieldwork safety form if you 

If you have any questions please contact SRTC at the following email: SRTC@murdoch.edu.au

Thank you,

Amanda Woods-McConney,

Chair, Murdoch University Fieldwork Committee
