I hadn't come across this provision before this morning and wonder if the law is actually stating that [u]every</u> work site where women might be employed (which to mind means all of them) shouldn't be carrying out such a risk assessment. I cant see any obvious reason why archaeological sites or premises should be excluded.
To allay Sniper's fears, I don't think it is a problem and can't see that any 'safe' working practice would exclude anyone (male or female). I just wonder if it is something that most archaeologists are unaware of. 1man1desks reply suggests that it isn't something he has come across before (and he tends to know most of these sort of things).
