It includes a detailed checklist of potential hazards and corresponding risk prevention and control methods, applicable to various survey sites for the NBMP surveys. The checklist is intended as a guide, explicitly stating that it is not exhaustive, and encourages users to identify and record any site-specific risks not listed. Section B of the form offers a framework for conducting individual site risk assessments, highlighting the unique nature of each location and the necessity for personalized evaluation. The document clearly states that volunteers are under no obligation to participate if they feel it is unsafe and should never put themselves or others in danger. It also introduces a risk rating system based on severity (1-3, from minor injury to serious injury requiring hospital treatment) and probability (1-3, low to high likelihood), defining the risk level through multiplication. Risk levels ideally should not exceed 3, and any activity resulting in a risk level higher than 4 must be avoided. The document refers users to specific notes on RIDDOR within their health and safety materials and provides fully completed examples for the first two rows to illustrate risks and controls applicable to all sites.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":36,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/risk-assessment-for-bat-field-surveys/170634/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/risk-assessment-for-bat-field-surveys/170634.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Evangeline","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-10-23","2026-09-01",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":8},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What is the purpose of this risk assessment document?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"This document provides a template and guidance for assessing and managing risks associated with bat field surveys, ensuring volunteer safety by identifying potential hazards and outlining prevention and control measures.","Answer",{"name":111,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":112},"How should risks be rated in this assessment?",{"text":113,"@type":109},"Risks are rated based on severity (minor injury/discomfort to serious injury requiring hospital treatment) and probability (low to high likelihood), using a 1-3 scale for each.
