ABSTRACT
Environmental regulations generally provide the basis for conducting a risk assessment. Risk assessment is usually a specific legal requirement within an overall program of environmental regulation. The overall program significantly impinges on how risk assessment is conducted, on the process and product standards governing report acceptability, and on how risk assessment is used. Consequently, a project manager must be aware of the most recent statutes and regulations governing the 234risk assessment project. Unfortunately for the project manager, locating the specific legal provisions that apply to a given project can be challenging.
