Risk is inherent in everything that we do in life. Without accepting and understanding these risks, we would not be able to do anything at all.

The first concern of all activities undertaken as part of Operation Wallacea expeditions is to gain an understanding of the environments we will be working in, and from this to reduce risk to health and safety as far as is possible.

After an independent assessment Operation Wallacea has been awarded the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge for safety and quality.

You can find general information about Opwall’s approach to Health and Safety in the about us section here, or documents specific to this expedition below.
