Workshop SM2.
Almost everything you always wanted to know about ecological and human health risk assessment (but were afraid to ask)
Sunday, 8 September, 2019
Presenters: Dr. Jason Conder and Dr. Atul Salhotra
Summary
Risk assessment is used at contaminated sites to aid in the investigation, characterization, and management of the toxicological chemical risks to humans and ecological resources. This 4-hour course will provide an overview of the risk assessment process, as well as detailed aspects such as risk assessment planning, data needs, risk assessment components, communication, and risk management.
Who should attend?
The workshop will be a valuable introduction to those who have no prior experience in risk assessment (i.e., no prior knowledge is necessary), and will be helpful to novice risk assessors with some initial experience as well as site/project managers that manage risk assessors. Environmental professionals from government, industry, and consulting are the key audience for this workshop.
