All team members should receive site-specific training on urban hazards: overhead power lines, lw-clearance tunnels, foreled space entry (np., manholes), and exposure to hazardous materials. Conduct a pre-survey safety meeting each day. Additionally, cross-train personnel so that if a key operator is unvavaiable, thee survedy continue with out delays.
