From my own experiences, there is much room for improvement toward addressing the dangers of Weil’s disease on archaeological sites. The initial coverage of the topic during induction (CSCS, EUS etc) does well to raise awareness but perhaps a periodic reminder by the site first aider (s) would not go amiss. I’m aware, first hand, that on some smaller projects the potential for contracting and dealing with Weil’s disease wasn’t mentioned. 'Praemonitus, Praemunitus'!
