* This is a NEW event supported and promoted by The Society of Brownfield Risk Assessment, The Geological Society Contaminated Land Group and RemSoc. Its inception has arisen from the request of SoBRA members to promote early careers learning, awareness and networking opportunities. This workshop will provide early career professionals with the tools to be a better brownfield risk assessor. Talks and workshops presented by experts in each field will:

  • Provide an overview of key risk assessment frameworks (human health from soil, asbestos, gas and vapours and controlled waters);
  • Develop understanding of the key factors that commonly drive our model projections;
  • Explore how such model uncertainty may be reduced by good field practices, good site conceptualisation, and selection of appropriate criteria;
  • Introduce potential chartership and accreditation schemes; and finally
  • Provide attendees with an opportunity to network with their peers and attain confidence in a workshop environment. 

As consultants we are tasked with understanding and communicating risk. We rely heavily upon models in supporting our decision making. These models most often are a simplification of the real world and consequently contain a degree of varying uncertainty. Awareness to the key drivers within a model that controls their output can helps us focus our effort during a site investigation, reduce uncertainty and better understand a risk. The day aims to introduce common risk assessment tools and those parameters key to driving model projections, enabling focused field investigations.
