There is a big difference between public outreach in commercial archaeology (open days, site tours, exhibitions, other educational activities) and public involvement in commercial archaeology (the word 'involvement' to me suggests that the public are actually doing some of the work, not just being shown it).
Safety and insurance issues become a lot harder if the public are directly involved, as opposed to 'outreach'. That doesn't mean it can't be done, but it does restrict the circumstances in which it can be done.
