Hosted by Environmental Response Training Program (ERTP)
ERT - OSRTI
|
This 2.5-day course provides participants with the fundamentals of risk assessment as applied to the Superfund cleanup process. This course is designed to present an introduction of the Superfund risk assessment process to Project Managers, On-Scene Coordinators, Risk Assessment Reviewers, and potentially new Risk Assessors working at hazardous waste sites or treatment, storage and disposal facilities. The course assumes little experience with toxicology and risk assessment or knowledge regarding Superfund risk assessment guidance.
The course is based on the following EPA documents: Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund: Volume I - Human Health Evaluation Manual (Parts A, B, C, and D) and Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund: Process for Designing and Conducting Ecological Risk Assessments. The risk assessment process is presented in an introductory format. The overall goal of the course is for the student to have a good understanding of the risk assessment guidance associated with Superfund.
Topics include: baseline risk assessment, preliminary remediation goals; applicable statutes, regulations, and guidance; data collection and evaluation; exposure assessment; toxicity assessment; risk characterization; principles of ecological assessment; ecological risk assessment guidance for Superfund; and ecological data collection methods. Current technical and information resources will also be discussed.
Instructional methods include lectures, videos, class discussions, and group exercises.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
-
Describe risk assessment and risk management.
