BS 8848: a specification for the provision of visits, fieldwork, expeditions and adventurous activities outside the UK
 
This British Standard specifies operational requirements for those responsible for organising overseas activities and student placements abroad.  

All who understand BS 8848 will be better informed about the risks and safety management procedures that good practice indicates should be in place before fieldwork begins.

The RGS-IBG runs workshops for those wishing to use BS 8848 to evaluate their existing safety management procedures against the national standard.

These workshops are open to everyone interested in complying with the Standard.
