It seems almost criminal to have "environmental officers" on site and yet not be trained/suitable for the environment they are working in!

Shouldn't local fauna education be part of the site induction program (especially for environmental officers)? Being situated in an area where wildlife encounters are more common place than in a 'built up area' like a city, your local 'environmental specialist' should know how to handle the occasional appearance of a "snake".
