Risk assessment is the process of identifying and evaluating these potential adverse effects on human health or the environment. It is the qualitative or quantitative evaluation of the risk posed to the environment and / or human health by the actual or potential presence or release of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants. Risk management involves identifying effective and practical solutions to ensure that risks remain acceptable. Our risk assessors apply mathematical risk models to derive defensible, realistic target values for any risk control measures that may be required.
