4 Identificación de Riesgos

En la etapa de campo se identificaron los mayores peligros para el proyecto, incluyendo la apertura de helipuertos, transporte fluvial, transporte aéreo, las actividades de toma de muestras y datos para actualización socio económica. Con excepción de la apertura de helipuertos, las actividades propuestas no involucran el uso de maquinarias. Los potenciales riesgos más frecuentes son corte con machete, ***caídas en la línea***, la fatiga por el calor, riesgos con la fauna existente, (ejemplo presencia de panales, mordeduras de serpiente), conflictos con comunidades, entre otros. La brigada de avanzada utilizarían motosierras para la deforestación de los helipuertos que serían requeridos para el transporte aéreo. En dicho caso, adicionalmente existirán riesgos de corte por motosierra, daño visual o auditivo, y golpe por caída de árboles.

neutral  philgoddard: "Coming to grief" can mean all sorts of things, including death. I'm not sure what "en la linea" means, but surely the answer has to include the word "falls"?
