anon, strictly speaking archaeological work comes under the CDM regulations if it is part of a construction project - the building part of it does not have to have started, it can be years away, the "project" is deemed to have started at inception. A Planning Supervisor should be appointed and all contractors have to submit their Risk Assessments and Method Statements to the PA (also all designers). The PA however has no powers of inspection and NOT an H&S inspector. But the curators could (and should) refer to this.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
