Having established the type of survey required, the survey needs to be planned. HSE recommend the following 5 step process;

1. Preliminary site meeting and walk through
2. Desk top study to plan survey
3. Survey plan including details of sampling strategy, if appropriate)
4. Risk assessment for the conduct of the survey
5. Specification of the method for recording and presenting data

Each of these issues are discussed in some detail in HSG264.
