Selecting hazard assessment and communications techniques
Article Abstract:
The selection of worst-case scenario (WCS) analysis techniques to be used in the EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP) can be done through a multilevel approach. The method is based on good science to avoid unrealistic estimates of the potential impact distance for the WCS and is acceptable to a broad range of RMP shareholders. On the other hand, a proactive communication plan is necessary for the success of an RMP strategy. Such a plan can be arrived by considering issues such as goals and objectives; stakeholders; communication tools; and roles and responsibilities.
