The overall objective of this manual is to provide risk assessors with the recommended basic/minimum requirements for developing scopes of work, evaluating Architect-Engineer (A-E) prepared human health risk assessments, and documenting risk management options associated with Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) investigations, studies, and designs consistent with principles of good science in defining the quality of risk assessments. This EM is intended for use by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Project Managers, technical personnel, and contractor personnel.
This handbook, Risk Assessment Handbook: Volume I - Human Health Evaluation, provides technical guidance to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) risk assessors and risk assessment support personnel for planning, evaluating, and conducting Human Health Risk Assessments (HHRAs) in a phased hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) response action. The handbook, a compendium to the Risk Assessment Handbook: Volume II - Environmental Evaluation (Engineer Manual (EM) 200-1-4), encourages the use of "good science" within the framework of existing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) risk assessment guidelines.
At the heart of environmental protection is risk assessment: thelikelihood of pollution from accidents; the likelihood of problemsfrom normal and abnormal operation of industrial processes; thelikely impacts associated with new synthetic chemicals; and so on.Currently, risk assessment has been very much in the news--therisks from BSE and E. coli, and the public perception of risks fromnuclear waste, etc. This new publication explains how scientificmethodologies are used to assess risk from human activities and theresultant objects and wastes, on people and the environment.Understanding such risks supplies crucial information--to framelegislation, manage major habitats, businesses and industries, andcreate development programmes. Unique in combining the science of risk assessment with thedevelopment of management strategies. Covers science and social science (politics, economics,psychology) aspects. Very timely - risk assessment lies at the heart of decisionmaking in various topical environmental questions (BSE, Brent Spar,nuclear waste).
