Your first-aid kit should be comprehensive and tailored to the specific hazards of your site. Include essentials such as bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and blister treatment. Consider additional items based on your team's medical needs and the potential risks of the environment, such as insect repellent, sunscreen, and medications for allergies or pre-existing conditions. Ensure your kit is easily accessible and that team members are trained in basic first-aid procedures. Regularly inspect your kit to ensure all supplies are in good condition and within their expiration dates. In remote locations, consider including equipment for managing more serious injuries, such as splints or tourniquets.

Report any safety hazards on site immediately to your supervisor or the designated safety officer. Provide a detailed description of the hazard, including its location, nature, and potential risks. If possible, take photographs or videos to document the hazard. Follow your site's established reporting procedures, which may include completing a written incident report. Ensure that the hazard is clearly marked or cordoned off to prevent others from being exposed. If the hazard poses an immediate threat to life or safety, take steps to mitigate the risk, such as evacuating the area or contacting emergency services. Follow up with your supervisor or safety officer to ensure that the hazard is addressed promptly and effectively.

A variety of safety resources are available to support archaeological fieldwork. Consult your organisation's safety policies and procedures for guidance on specific hazards and risks. Refer to industry best practices and guidelines for archaeological site safety. Visit the websites of relevant regulatory authorities, such as Safe Work Australia, for information on workplace health and safety. Attend training courses on first aid, risk management, and emergency response. Contact professional organisations, such as the Australian Archaeological Association, for access to safety resources and support. Consider subscribing to safety newsletters or journals to stay informed about emerging trends and best practices. Contact Rosetta directly through rosetta-archaeology.com.au.
