The updated RMM 801 Field Trips, Student Placements and Research Activity Planning and Approval Program can be found on the EOHSS Risk Management Manual webpage at http://www.workingatmcmaster.ca/rmm/. In addition there is also a guidelines document to assist in completing the process documents (also located on this webpage).
Some of the changes to the RMM include:

• New time frame defined for submission

• New approval steps for L3 and L4 countries (Global Affairs Canada ratings)

• Undergrads no approval for travel to L3/L4 countries
• Definition of low risk, significant risk, extreme risk
• Checklist for research activities
• Checklist for fieldtrips
• Checklist for out of country student placements

The new document also includes more detailed checklists that need to be completed as part of the risk assessment package.
