Environmental risk assessment is a key tool to enable understanding of the risk associated with direct and indirect impacts on people and individual aspects of the environment. Understanding the likelihood of an impact occurring and the consequences if it does occur allows development of appropriate management and mitigation measures.   

MBS has experience in facilitating, undertaking and documenting outcomes of environmental risk assessment to meet corporate, regulator and other stakeholder needs. This includes both qualitative and quantitative environmental and health risk assessments. This has included:

• Mining Act risk assessments for construction, operations and closure stages of a project.
• Petroleum Pipeline Act risk assessments and safety cases.
• Ecological risk assessments for dewatering discharges to aquatic and terrestrial environments, fauna interactions with waste landforms and onsite water re-utilisation.
• RESRAD modelling to evaluate radiation risk for human health.
• ERICA modelling to evaluate environmental radiation risks.
