Hazard Identification:
Pinpointing potential sources of harm to the environment, such as chemical spills, air pollution, or improper waste disposal.
Environmental Risk Assessment
An Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) at a workplace is a systematic process to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential negative impacts on the environment from workplace activities. This process helps prevent pollution, comply with environmental regulations, and reduce potential financial and reputational risks.
In Kenya, environmental risk assessment, specifically through Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), is a legal requirement for projects likely to negatively impact the environment. These assessments are crucial for integrating environmental considerations into project planning and decision-making, aiming to achieve sustainable development.
