Environmental Risk Assessment

 

Purpose

This course aims to give students an awareness and understanding of environmental risk assessment. It covers some of the main areas where students might encounter the need to undertake an environmental risk assessment and how approaches to undertaking such an assessment compare with safety risk assessments. Some of the ways in which environmental consequences are assessed are considered, allowing students to judge the appropriateness or otherwise of some commonly encountered models.

Managers, engineers, operators, designers and HSE professionals who need to lead or undertake risk management processes for their organisation and facilities.
