It is the objective of a spotter catcher to humanely capture
and relocate wildlife found on construction sites to a
safe location; that provides all the current needs of the
habitat that they are being from. They are also the first on the
scene for any injured wildlife and provide first aid until they can
get the animal to a wildlife carer or veterinarian.
Although surveys are carried out before construction
begins; wildlife are constantly on the move and an area that was
bare of wildlife today could have substantial wildlife tomorrow.
Although spotter catchers do not need a degree in Ecology or a
bachelors of science; they do need to be able to understand
to understand the contents of an Ecological survey and the
directions contained in a Species Management Plan in order
to carry out their job efficiently.
Not all jobs require an Ecological survey and
Species Management
Plan. The spotter catcher can conduct his own site inspection to
determined what wildlife is present and the steps to be taken to
ensure its safety. Spotter
catchers are responsible for the complete
wellbeing of all wildlife found on a construction site and have the
relevant skills to care for any wildlife situation that may occur.
Our spotter catchers are experienced wildlife
handlers and
vaccinated against Australian Bat Lyssa virus as well as up to
date with the Tetanus vaccination. They have successfully
completed their Occupational Health and Safety Induction
training for the Construction Industry (more commonly known as
the White Card), completed a EHP recognised venomous snake
handling course and hold a certificate in Senior First Aid.
It is important to remember that spotter catchers are there to
ensure wildlife safety while minimising down time.
