Human Health Risk Assessment

|
Land Quality issues can have serious implications for the health of current and future site users; local authorities have a duty to identify land that may cause a ‘significant possibility of significant harm’ (or SPOSH) to site users and ensure that the land is remediated. Land Quality and the protection of human health is also a consideration in the planning process. 
Human health risk assessment is used by local authorities, landowners, site developers, remediation contractors and consultants to demonstrate that land is suitable for its current or intended use. ESI’s risk assessors can help | Ensure that land quality issues do not delay site development; | | Ensure that proposed developments will be protective of human health; | | Provide flexibility for site-specific remediation objectives, including robust justification for no action where appropriate. |
