CIWEM's 'Risk Assessment for Environmental Professionals' is unique in its practical focus, encompasses all areas of risk assessment and complements recent Government guidance. It is an essential stand-alone guide for anyone who comes into contact with risk assessement scenarios, such as general managers, regulators, environmental consultants, risk analysts and postgraduate students on environmental management and related courses.
