Risk Assessment Services
Federal and state risk management regulatory initiatives have brought risk assessment into all areas of environmental management. Risk assessment activities help to appropriately characterize potential exposure pathways and incremental risks to public health and the environment posed by current or past chemical or waste management activities.
Risk assessment approaches can, and should, be tailored to fit the needs of the individual project. RMT has successfully employed risk assessment strategies to justify the protectiveness and validity of institutional control, natural attenuation, and containment strategies at hazardous waste sites and operating facilities in lieu of previously mandated treatment/removal options. In addition, our risk and regulatory professionals excel at high-end risk management and communication services in toxic tort liability support, expert testimony, and public communications.
With the reliance on risk-based solutions, our ability to clearly and effectively communicate risk-related issues to regulatory agencies and community groups is critical in gaining regulatory approval and stakeholder acceptance. The emotional and political sensitivity of these issues underscores the need for publicly and scientifically defensible solutions.
