Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA)
Ensuring the environmental safety of your property or facility is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy environment. At ECOH, we offer a comprehensive ERA process that includes risk assessment, regulatory approval, and stakeholder communication, helping you navigate the complexities of environmental risk assessments.
What is an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA)?
An Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) is a scientific process that evaluates and estimates the environmental effects or probability of adverse health conditions from exposure to specific environmental contaminants. This assessment is typically conducted when a contaminant has been identified during an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), and remediation is not a viable option due to technical or financial constraints.
Why is an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) needed?
An ERA is necessary for several reasons:
- Risk Management: By identifying potential risks and assessing their likelihood, organizations can develop strategies to mitigate these risks and protect human health and the environment.
- Compliance: ERAs help ensure compliance with provincial and federal regulations, which is essential for maintaining a clean and safe environment
