Environmental Impact and Risk

​​

Environmental risk assessment is a process that evaluates the likelihood that adverse ecological effects may occur or are occurring as a result of exposure to one or more stressors. All environment impacts and risks will be continuously monitored and updated throughout the duration of the project. Risk assessment is a process where the hazards and exposures are identified, the risk potential of these hazards and exposures are analysed and estimated, and a decision as to the acceptability of these risks to people, business or the environment is made. Risk assessment is commonly defined as the identification of undesired events, their causes and an analysis of their likelihood and potential consequences – with existing control measures taken into consideration – in order to make a value judgement as to the risk’s acceptability.
